Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in a provincial Iberian style derived from Hellenistic prototypes, with curly hair indicated by pellets and a beaded torque or collar visible at the neck. Three dolphins are arranged around the effigy in the field, a motif characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage of the northeastern peninsula. The flan is irregular and the relief is bold, consistent with hand-struck hammered production of the period.

Reverse description Equestrian figure advancing to the right, depicted as a rider holding a long spear or lance at the charge, with the horse shown in full gallop. The composition follows the standard Iberian jinete type widespread on coins of the northeastern Iberian mints during the late Republican period. Below the horse, the mint name is inscribed in Iberian Levantine script. The style is vigorous and schematic, typical of provincial Iberian bronze coinage.
