| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tanit facing left, wearing a wreath of grain ears and a winged diadem, with curling locks of hair falling over the neck and shoulder. The effigy is rendered in a refined Hellenistic style characteristic of Carthaginian coinage of the late third century BC. The facial features are finely detailed, with a prominent nose and delicate lips. No legend appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A horse standing to the right in full profile, rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic manner with musculature carefully delineated. The animal is depicted without a rider or bridle, with its tail hanging naturally. The ground line beneath the horse is plain, and the field is otherwise unadorned. No inscription or exergual legend is present. This motif is characteristic of Carthaginian electrum and gold coinage of the Barcid period. |
