| Obverse description | Convex, unadorned globular surface of debased gold, entirely devoid of figural or epigraphic design. The flan displays a characteristic domed, plano-convex profile typical of Celtic fractional gold coinage, with a heavily corroded and pitted surface revealing patches of residual gold alloy against a darkened base-metal groundmass. No devices, symbols, or legends are present; the plain field serves as the obverse by convention. |

| Reverse description | Concave incuse field framed by a raised circular border, within which a bold T-shaped symbol — likely a stylized torque or cross motif — is rendered in low relief at the centre of the die. The symbol features a horizontal bar surmounting a vertical stem, executed in the schematic, abstracted manner characteristic of late Celtic Boian fractional coinage. The surrounding incuse depression is smooth and relatively well-preserved, retaining clear gold surface across the central device field. |
