| Obverse description | Diademed bust facing right, wearing a beaded necklace at the throat. A legend appears before the face, reading SVTICOS, rendered in the Gaulish epigraphic tradition. The design is framed by a beaded border (grènetis). The portraiture is stylized in the Celtic manner, with schematic facial features characteristic of the Veliocasses coinage. |

| Reverse description | A horse galloping to the right, rendered in the dynamic, abstracted Celtic style. Above the horse's rump appears a small frontal human head, a distinctive emblematic device of this Class V type. Below the horse's body is a flower motif, and an inverted amphora is placed beneath the raised hind leg. A double zigzag line appears behind the tail. A partial legend, [VELI]OCAOI, identifying the Veliocasses tribe, occupies the field. |
