| Obverse description | Bull standing right in the field, rendered in a robust, archaic style characteristic of Hispano-Phoenician civic coinage. A six-petalled star or rosette is prominently displayed above the animal's back in the upper field. The flan is irregular and the design fills the field without a border legend, reflecting the local hammered production technique of the 2nd century BC. |

| Reverse description | Three stalks of grain or barley arranged diagonally across the field, rendered in a stylised, deeply struck manner typical of Hispano-Phoenician civic bronzes. The bilingual legend in Libyan-Phoenician and Latin characters appears in the lower field identifying the issuing community. The design is unbordered, with the grain motif serving as an agricultural symbol emblematic of the region's fertility and commercial identity. |
