| Obverse description | Highly stylized Celtic male head facing left, rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition; the hair is depicted by a series of parallel lines interspersed with interconnected globules or pellets, creating a decorative, abstract effect. At the base of the neck, a boar in reverse orientation serves as a subsidiary emblem, a characteristic motif of the Aulerci Eburovices coinage. The facial features are schematically rendered, with the overall composition emphasizing decorative abstraction over naturalistic portraiture. The field is otherwise plain. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse leaping to the right, depicted in the characteristic disjointed Celtic manner derived from Macedonian prototype coinage. A charioteer figure appears above the horse, rendered in an abstract, fragmentary fashion typical of Gaulish coinage of this period. Beneath the horse, a boar ensign faces right, serving as a tribal emblem of the Aulerci Eburovices. In front of the horse's chest, a distinctive beaded and pointed ringlet ornament is prominently placed, giving this type its defining diagnostic characteristic. The field is otherwise unadorned. |
