Obverse description Male head in right profile, rendered in the indigenous Iberian artistic tradition, occupying the central field of the flan. The facial features, including a prominent nose and chin, are visible despite significant surface corrosion and encrustation. The neck is truncated at the lower field, and no legend is present on this side. The style is consistent with late 2nd century BC Iberian bronze coinage.

Reverse description Horseman advancing to the right, depicted in the characteristic Iberian jinete style, occupying the central field of the coin. The rider appears armed, seated upon a galloping horse, with the design rendered in shallow relief consistent with the hammered technique of the period. The Northeastern Iberian legend OSKUMKEN appears in the exergue or field, identifying the issuing mint. Surface wear and heavy patination obscure finer details of the composition.
