| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic boar rendered in high relief, depicted in profile facing left, with distinctive curved spine, prominent haunch, and schematized limbs rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition. The animal is surrounded by abstract decorative elements including pellets and curved line motifs filling the field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck Celtic potin or bronze coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A highly stylized horse depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract manner with disjointed, curvilinear body elements typical of La Tène decorative art. Above the horse's back appears a schematized rider or charioteer figure, and below the horse's legs are wavy linear motifs possibly representing ground lines or abstracted vegetation. Pellets and annulets are scattered across the field as decorative fill elements, and the overall composition reflects the devolved Macedonian stater prototype common to Gaulish tribal coinage of the late first century BC. |
