Obverse description Bare male head facing right in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, with naturalistic facial features and short hair rendered in fine strands. Two dolphins are positioned flanking the head, one above and one below, serving as mint or civic symbols characteristic of Celtiberian bronze coinage. The portrait is boldly struck within a broad, unadorned field, with no surrounding legend. The overall style reflects the blending of Hellenistic artistic conventions with indigenous Iberian craftsmanship.

Reverse description Armored horseman galloping vigorously to the right, wearing a helmet and wielding a horizontal spear couched forward in the attack position. The horse is depicted in full stride with energetic, fluid lines typical of Celtiberian equestrian coinage. Below the horse, in the exergue area, the civic legend is inscribed in the Iberian semi-syllabic script, reading SEKAISA, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition follows the canonical jinete (horseman) type widely adopted by Celtiberian mints of the late Republican period.
