| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, adorned with a pearl necklace. Two dolphins flank the effigy in the left and right fields, each accompanied by a tetraskeles (swastika-like symbol), lending the design a distinctly Iberian-Celtiberian character. The style is bold and somewhat provincial, consistent with Hispanic bronze coinage of the late Republican period. |

| Additional information |
The Libiakos are among the least-documented issuing authorities in the Iberian peninsula's pre-Roman and transitional coinage, and no confident attribution to a specific tribe or settlement has held scholarly consensus. The absence of an ACIP reference number here is telling — this piece either remains unclassified or falls into a contested attribution zone where the corpus itself is still being assembled.
