| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in a Iberianized Hellenistic style, with wavy hair and a beaded torque or collar visible at the neck. Three dolphins are arranged around the effigy in the field — one above and two flanking — serving as emblematic devices characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage of this period. The design is contained within a dotted border. The overall execution reflects the indigenous Iberian adaptation of Hellenistic portraiture conventions. |

| Reverse description | A mounted warrior advances to the right at full gallop on a prancing horse, holding a palm leaf in the raised right hand, a motif emblematic of victory on Iberian bronze issues. The rider is depicted with schematic but energetic draftsmanship typical of Celtiberian coinage. Below the horse, the mint name is inscribed in Iberian Levantine script, reading 'sedeisken' or a variant thereof, serving as the primary legend identifying the issuing community. The scene is framed by a plain linear border. |
