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.

Reverse description Armored horseman galloping to the right, holding a long spear or lance in his raised right hand, depicted in the characteristic Celtiberian jinete (cavalryman) type. The horse is shown in dynamic motion with all four legs extended. A two-line Iberian (Celtiberian) legend appears below the horse in the lower field, identifying the mint name in the native semi-syllabic script. The composition follows the standard iconographic formula of Celtiberian bronze coinage of the late 2nd century BC.
