| Obverse description | Veiled female head facing left, rendered in a provincial Iberian style with visible drapery folds at the neck. A sceptre is depicted to the left of the effigy, serving as an attribute of divine or regal authority. The portrait occupies the central field and is executed in low relief, typical of Iberian bronze coinage of the early 2nd century BC. The surfaces exhibit heavy patination consistent with the age and burial context of this series. |

| Reverse description | A bull shown in left-facing profile, rendered in the round with sturdy, naturalistically modelled legs and a pronounced dewlap, occupying the central field. The Latin legend BORA is inscribed in the upper field above the bull, identifying the issuing community of Bora in Hispania. The design follows conventions common to Ibero-Roman bronze coinage of the early 2nd century BC, with the bull serving as a symbol of civic and agricultural identity. The flan is irregular in shape, as is characteristic of hammered issues of this period. |
