| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic effigy of Apollo facing left, rendered in the characteristic abstracted La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, flowing pellets and rope-like strands radiating from the head, typical of Gaulish die-cutters' interpretation of the Hellenistic prototype. The facial features — eye, cheek, and chin — are reduced to deeply struck, schematic forms within the flan. The design fills the irregularly shaped flan with no legend or inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | A mounted warrior or charioteer depicted in vigorous motion facing left, rendered in the highly abstracted Celtic style derived from Macedonian stater prototypes. The horse is shown with an arched neck and elongated legs in full stride, its body stylized with deeply cut muscular forms. The rider, positioned above the horse, appears to carry a shield and is surrounded by scattered subsidiary symbols — including a possible torque or pellet motifs — in the field. Below the horse, a decorative element suggesting a ground line is visible, and a linear inscription or pellet pattern appears along the lower exergue area. The entire design reflects the progressive Celtic abstraction of the original Greek horseman type. |
