| Obverse description | Male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, with wavy hair indicated by pronounced, stylised locks radiating from the crown. A series of dolphins or curved ornaments appears before and behind the neck, a characteristic decorative motif of Iberian Hispanic coinage. The portrait is bold and in relatively high relief, occupying the majority of the flan, with the field otherwise plain. |

| Reverse description | Horseman galloping right at full stride, depicted in the typical Iberian jinete style, holding a palm branch or lance above the horse. The horse is rendered with energy and movement, its legs fully extended. Below the horse, an Iberian legend in Levantine Iberian script runs along the lower portion of the flan, identifying the issuing mint of Saltuie. The composition closely follows the standard Hispanic-Celtiberian bronze coinage typology of the period. |
