| Obverse description | Bare head of Victory facing right, with hair drawn back and tied, rendered in a simple provincial style characteristic of late Republican Hispanian coinage. The legend EX D D (ex decreto decurionum, meaning 'by decree of the town council') appears in the left field, attesting to the civic authority behind the issue. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with a smooth but worn surface typical of hammered bronze issues from Carteia. |

| Reverse description | A cornucopia, abundantly filled with fruits and foliage, depicted upright and centrally placed on the flan, symbolising prosperity and civic well-being. The magistrates' names and titles are distributed around the field in a vertical arrangement: L ATINI C NVCIA IIII VIR, referring to the quattuorviri Lucius Atinius and Gaius Nucianus responsible for the coinage issue. The style is characteristic of the provincial bronze coinage struck at the Roman colony of Carteia in the late Republican period. |
