Reverse description Convex field bearing a highly stylised, abstracted zoomorphic motif characteristic of late Celtic La Tène artistic tradition, interpreted as a schematic animal figure — possibly a horse or boar — rendered in bold, deeply struck relief. The design is executed in the degenerate, abstract manner typical of Boii tribal coinage, with angular forms suggesting a body and limbs reduced to geometric masses. The irregular flan edges and variable strike create an asymmetrical composition, with the central motif occupying the majority of the field. No legend or inscription is present.
