| Obverse description | Draped bust of the goddess Tanit facing left, her hair elaborately rendered in flowing waves bound with a wreath of grain, wearing a beaded necklace and a pendant earring. The facial features are finely modeled in the Hellenistic tradition, with a graceful profile and delicate expression characteristic of late Carthaginian coinage. The hair falls in richly detailed tresses behind the neck, framing the bust within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | A horse standing in profile to the right, rendered with naturalistic musculature and finely incised detail, with the left foreleg slightly raised and drawn back in a characteristic Carthaginian type. A ground line defines the exergual area, below which a bow is depicted in the exergue. The composition fills the flan with bold, confident engraving consistent with the Barcid-era Carthaginian military coinage tradition. |
