| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in a Hellenistic-Iberian artistic style, with finely detailed hair drawn back and gathered at the nape, consistent with indigenous representations of a youthful male deity or local hero. A torque or necklace is visible at the truncation of the neck, a characteristic ornament associated with Iberian culture. The portrait occupies most of the flan, with no legend or inscription in the field. The relief is bold and well-centred, typical of Ilergetan bronze coinage of the mid-second century BC. |

| Reverse description | Horse galloping vigorously to the right, depicted in a dynamic posture with forelegs raised and tail extended, rendered in a schematic yet energetic Iberian style. Below the horse, Iberian script characters appear in the exergue or lower field, constituting the mint signature of Iltirta. The horse motif is a hallmark of Ilergetan bronze coinage and reflects both local equestrian tradition and the broader Ibero-Punic iconographic repertoire. The flan is irregular with a slightly uneven surface characteristic of hammered provincial bronze issues. |
