| Obverse description | Plain, convex gold flan of irregular globular form characteristic of Celtic minimal coinage, bearing a single small incuse leaf- or lozenge-shaped mark at centre, set within an otherwise unadorned field. The surface displays the natural flow lines and hammer marks typical of hand-struck gold quarter-obol fractions. No legend or additional device is present. |

| Reverse description | Athena Alkis striding vigorously to the left in a highly schematised Celtic rendering, depicted in high relief with a helmeted head rendered as a cluster of globules. The goddess extends a round shield to the left while brandishing a spear in her raised right hand, the whole figure reduced to bold, abstracted plastic forms consistent with the La Tène artistic tradition. The field is plain and uninscribed, with no exergual line. |
