Obverse description Stylized barbarian imitation of a helmeted head of Roma facing right, rendered in a bold and somewhat crude Celtic hand. The helmet is depicted with exaggerated crests and angular lines characteristic of Eraviscian die-cutting. A dotted border or beaded circle frames the design along the coin's irregular edge. The facial features are simplified yet vigorous, reflecting local artistic interpretation of the Roman prototype. No legend is present in the field.

Reverse description Stylized Victory driving a biga to the left, holding reins and whip in a manner closely imitating Roman Republican denarius prototypes. The two horses are rendered in a lively, elongated Celtic style with dotted manes and exaggerated limbs in full gallop. The chariot wheel is visible beneath the figures, depicted as a simple spoked circle. A beaded border runs along the coin's periphery, and a zigzag or wave pattern appears above the scene in the upper field. No inscriptions are present; the overall composition reflects the characteristic barbarian adaptation of Roman imagery by the Eravisci tribe of Pannonia.
