| Obverse description | Bearded male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic style with deeply engraved wavy hair swept back from the forehead. The full beard is depicted with a granular or stippled texture characteristic of Celtiberian coinage. A necklace or torque is visible at the neck. A dolphin appears before the face in the left field, a common iconographic element on Turiasu bronzes. The portrait fills the flan within a shallow border. |

| Reverse description | Armored horseman galloping to the right, wearing a crested helmet and couching a long spear horizontally. The horse is depicted in full stride with energetic movement, a standard motif on Celtiberian coinage evoking the indigenous aristocratic cavalry tradition. Below the horse, a line divides the design from the exergue, where the Iberian legend in Celtiberian script is inscribed. The mint name of Turiasu is rendered in Iberian semi-syllabic script beneath the horse. |
