| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic head facing right, rendered in schematic relief characteristic of Gallo-Belgic coinage. The effigy displays a pointed nose and pronounced lips, with facial features reduced to abstract geometric forms. A zigzag line separates the profile from a surrounding beaded circle that frames the entire design field. The artistic style reflects the late La Tène period tradition of progressive abstraction from classical Hellenistic prototypes. |

| Reverse description | A stylized boar passant to the left, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with exaggerated dorsal bristles and curvilinear body contours. Between the legs of the animal, a wheel with five spokes is depicted, serving as a sacred solar symbol common in Gallo-Belgic religious iconography. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded circle border. The field exhibits the characteristic shallow, irregular strike typical of Veliocasses bronze coinage of this period. |
