| Obverse description | Central swastika motif with curved, retrograde limbs enclosing a pellet within a circle at its center; surrounding the central device are four additional circles, each containing a pellet, arranged symmetrically in the field. The overall composition reflects a decorative Celtic solar or apotropaic symbol rendered in a stylized, abstract manner characteristic of Belgic coinage. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing left in a highly stylized Celtic rendering, with an abstracted body and limbs executed in the schematic manner typical of Belgic bronze coinage; the figure occupies the central field of the irregular flan, with minimal additional devices visible. The design reflects the debased derivative tradition of earlier Macedonian gold stater prototypes as adapted by Celtic tribes of the Belgic region. |
