| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, rendered in the Greco-Iberian style characteristic of the Untikesken mint. The goddess wears a Corinthian-style crested helmet with a prominent cheek guard, and her facial features are depicted with bold, slightly archaic modelling. A single Iberian letter 'e' appears as a control mark in the field, likely behind the neck. The flan is irregular and the relief slightly worn, consistent with hand-struck provincial issues of the second century BC. |

| Reverse description | A bull strides vigorously to the right, rendered with dynamic energy typical of Iberian coinage influenced by Greco-Roman artistic conventions. A prominent crescent symbol occupies the upper field above the animal's back. Below the bull, separated by a ground line, the Iberian legend 'untikesken' is inscribed in Levantine semi-syllabic script, identifying the issuing civic authority of Emporion (modern Empúries). The overall composition is well-centered on an irregular flan, with bold if somewhat roughly executed relief. |
