| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Celtic artistic tradition, adorned with a pearl or bead necklace at the neck. Two dolphins are depicted to the right of the effigy, a characteristic symbol associated with several Celtiberian mint types. The hair is rendered in thick, stylized strands. The overall style reflects provincial Hellenistic influence filtered through indigenous Iberian craftsmanship. |

| Additional information |
The "Belaiskom" attribution identifies this piece as part of a small group of Iberian bronze issues whose precise issuing authority remains debated among specialists — the mint name itself is a modern scholarly reconstruction, not an ancient toponym confirmed by epigraphy. CNH#1 and ACIP#1814 place it at the head of the Untikesken sequence, situating production in the northeastern Iberian coastal zone during a period when Roman administrative pressure was steadily reorganizing indigenous monetary output across the peninsula.
The date range spans the decades immediately following Rome's destruction of Numantia in 133 BC.
