| Obverse description | Draped bust of the goddess Tanit facing left, her hair elaborately arranged and crowned with a wreath of grain ears, a characteristic emblem of the Punic fertility deity. She wears a beaded necklace and a pendant earring, rendered with fine Hellenistic craftsmanship. The portrait is set within a scalloped border, with no surrounding legend, the divine identity conveyed entirely through iconographic attributes. |

| Reverse description | A horse standing to the right in a proud, animated pose with its left foreleg raised, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of late Carthaginian coinage. A single pellet appears beneath the raised foreleg, serving as a control mark or mint symbol. The horse's mane and tail are rendered with naturalistic detail, and the figure occupies the full field of the scalloped flan with no surrounding legend. |
