| Obverse description | Winged Victoria (Nike) advancing to the right, her right arm raised and extending a wreath forward. The figure is depicted in dynamic stride with wings spread, rendered in the Ibero-Roman artistic style typical of Hispanian civic coinage of the late Republican period. A legend in Iberian script appears in the field identifying the issuing authority. |

| Additional information |
Usekerte — ancient Osca, modern Huesca in Aragon — minted this issue during one of the most consequential years in Roman history. The 49–48 BC window falls precisely within Caesar's Hispanian campaigns following the crossing of the Rubicon, when local Iberian mints either capitulated to or actively supported the Pompeian or Caesarian factions scrambling for control of the peninsula. Which side Usekerte aligned with remains debated.
The CNH#1 designation marks this as the foundational reference piece for this mint in Villaronga's corpus.
