| Obverse description | Beardless male bust facing right, the neck adorned with a torc rendered in relief. A lozenge enclosing a central pellet appears behind the nape of the neck, serving as a decorative symbol characteristic of Arvernian coinage. The legend CALIIDV is presented within a cartouche positioned in the field before the face, a distinctive epigraphic feature of this type. The portrait is executed in the stylised La Tène artistic tradition, with schematic facial features typical of late Gaulish bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | A horse bounding to the left, rendered in the energetic, schematic style characteristic of Gaulish Celtic coinage. A round shield is depicted above the horse in the upper field, while a floret or rosette ornament occupies the lower field beneath the horse. The composition is typical of Arvernian bronze issues of the late La Tène period, with the animal and accompanying symbols filling the flan in a dynamic, stylised manner. |
