| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic head in profile facing left, rendered in the characteristically abstracted La Tène artistic tradition. The cranium is dominated by a large, sweeping arc representing the hair or helmet, curving dramatically over the skull. Facial features are reduced to bold, schematic forms: a pronounced pellet eye, a rounded cheek mass, and a simplified nose and chin. The overall composition fills the irregular flan with confident, fluid modeling typical of Boian Celtic goldsmith work. |

| Reverse description | Stylized human or divine figure depicted in a squatting or running posture, centrally placed on the flan in the La Tène decorative idiom. The torso and limbs are rendered as rounded, globular masses, with the head shown as a prominent pellet atop the body. Surrounding the figure are sinuous, serpentine forms and large pellets arranged in the field, likely representing zoomorphic or cosmic symbols. The entire composition exhibits the abstract, curvilinear vocabulary characteristic of Celtic coinage derived from Macedonian prototype types. |
