No. As of the Ilergetes. Pekka has given you the ID. You can see quite well the details of the reverse and obverse,dolphins before and behind the head.

Its interesting how the portrait on the obverse is used many years later by  Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus, friend of Caesar and Governor of Asia. Strong supporter of Octavianus who named him Governor of Hispania 39-36 BC.   As for the reverse priestly  implements he was a  member of the  Arval Brethren priesthood, reserved only for members of the Imperial family and  the emperor's most distinguished supporters.

Not an expert in Iberian coins. In Iltirta you find the Unit or AS (your coin) with many variations in weight and size.There's another unit with a wolf ( totem animal of Iltirta) on the reverse. The semis with same obverse but a horse without rider and crescent above on the reverse. The quadrans , same obverse and reverse but with a star above the horse. In silver a denarius was minted. All with the legend ILTIRT. Many varieties in the horse, dolphins,hair in the obverse etc...

Al ready found some while metal detecting. I live not far away from Lerida and Huesca , another important mint.
