| Obverse description | Draped bust of a deity facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Roman artistic tradition, occupying the central field of the flan. The effigy displays flowing hair and stylized facial features characteristic of late Republican Hispanic coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edge, consistent with hammered provincial bronzes of this period. No visible legend or inscription accompanies the portrait on this side. The surfaces show a heavily encrusted patina typical of excavated Iberian bronzes. |

| Reverse description | A bull standing right in the central field, rendered in a schematic but recognizable Iberian provincial style, with a crescent or curved symbol visible above. The mint magistrate's abbreviated name or civic legend appears in Latin characters, partially legible, flanking the bull. The reverse type reflects the widespread use of bovine imagery on Hispano-Roman civic bronzes of Castulo. The field is flat and unbordered, with the irregular hammered flan evident at the periphery. The overall strike is typical of municipally produced coinage from the Oretanian region of Hispania. |
