| Obverse description | Bare female head facing left, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with stylized features. The legend ANNICOIOS appears in the field, likely identifying a local magistrate or issuing authority. The flan is small and irregular, consistent with Gaulish potin or bronze coinage of the late La Tène period. The relief is low and the surfaces show characteristic wear and patination associated with struck Armorican-region bronze issues. |

| Reverse description | A stylized boar-standard depicted to the right, a common emblematic device on Pictones tribal coinage serving as a symbol of warrior power. Below the boar, a schematic floral or rosette motif occupies the lower field. Above, the fragmented remains of a dextrorotatory triskelion are visible, a characteristic Celtic solar or apotropaic symbol. The overall composition is typical of late Gaulish bronze issues, with bold symbolic imagery distributed across the flan in a loosely organized field arrangement. |
