| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing right, rendered in the Celtic figurative tradition with bold, schematic features. The head is adorned with an elaborate helmet or headdress, decorated with pellets and floral or scroll motifs. The eye is rendered as a prominent raised pellet, and the facial contours are rendered with deeply modeled, almost abstract planes characteristic of Armorican Celtic coinage. Scattered decorative elements, including additional pellets and linear ornaments, fill the field around the effigy. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse or boar galloping left, executed in the distinctive schematic Celtic figurative style associated with Armorican issues of the Bodiocasses. The animal's body is rendered with flowing, curvilinear lines, with a prominently arched back and decorative scroll-like mane elements above. Beneath the creature, a row of pellets or linear ground elements is visible. Additional ornamental motifs, including a small crescent or annulet, appear in the field, consistent with the decorative conventions of this regional series. |
