| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, depicted in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, with flowing curly hair rendered in rope-like locks; the figure wears a mantle fastened at the shoulder by a fibula. A dotted border frames the design within the irregular flan. The modelling of the facial features reflects local Iberian interpretations of Hellenistic portraiture current in Hispania during the second century BC. |

| Reverse description | Horseman advancing to the right at full gallop, rendered in the characteristic Iberian equestrian style; the rider extends his right arm forward holding a palm branch, a symbol of victory commonly found on Iberian coinage of this period. Below the horse, an Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script identifies the mint of Tarraco (Kese). The composition occupies the full flan, with the figure exhibiting vigorous, if somewhat schematic, execution typical of provincial Hispanic bronzes. |
