Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, with wavy hair arranged in locks falling to the neck and a beaded torque or collar at the truncation. Three dolphins are disposed around the head in the field, a characteristic symbol associated with Iberian coastal mints. The facial features are boldly modelled with a prominent nose and well-defined eye.

Reverse description Equestrian figure advancing to the right, depicted as a rider on horseback at a canter or gallop, holding a palm branch or palm leaf upward in the raised right hand, a symbol of victory common in Iberian coinage of this period. The horse is rendered with muscular detail, its mane and tail indicated by engraved lines. An Iberian legend in Levantine script appears in the exergue beneath the horse, reading the mint name.
