| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, adorned with a pearl necklace encircling the neck, rendered in the stylized Celtiberian artistic tradition. A dolphin is positioned to the left of the head and a second dolphin to the right, serving as characteristic mint symbols flanking the effigy. The portraiture is boldly struck in high relief with a broad, rounded facial profile typical of Iberian bronze coinage of the late Republican period. |

| Reverse description | Armed horseman advancing to the right at a gallop, wearing a crested helmet and a military tunic, with a long spear or lance held horizontally at the ready. The horse is depicted in energetic motion with all four legs extended, consistent with the distinctive jinete iconography prevalent on Celtiberian coinage. Beneath the horse, a retrograde Iberian (Celtiberian) legend reads the mint name of Lutia in the lower field. The composition is bold and deeply struck, characteristic of the local Celtiberian bronze coinage series of the late 2nd to early 1st century BC. |
