| Obverse description | Stylized female head in left profile, hair gathered into a bun at the nape; a prominent open crescent is depicted centrally before the mouth, connected to the neck by a cord or torque-like element, a characteristic fibula motif. The rendering is typical of late Gaulish Celtic artistic convention, with schematic facial features set within a plain field. |

| Reverse description | Horse advancing to the right, one foreleg raised and resting upon a central ringlet or annulet. Above the horse, a crescent open at its base and terminating in a cord or pellet-tipped finial occupies the upper field. Below the horse, an X symbol and a broken or interrupted line are present in the lower field, typical Bellovaci decorative elements in the Celtic numismatic tradition. |
