| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, depicted in the Ibero-Hellenistic artistic tradition, with stylized hair rendered in short striated locks. The figure wears a mantle fastened at the shoulder by a fibula, visible below the truncation. Traces of an Iberian legend appear in the right field, largely obscured by patina and flan irregularities. |

| Reverse description | Mounted horseman advancing to the right at full gallop, raising a palm branch in the right hand in a gesture characteristic of Hispano-Celtic coinage. The horse is rendered with vigorous naturalism typical of the Iberian equestrian type, with exaggerated limb extension. An Iberian inscription identifying the mint appears below the horse in the exergual area, partially legible due to heavy green patination and die wear. |
