Reverse description A stylised griffin depicted in left profile occupies the central field, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of eastern Gaulish coinage. The creature's body, wing, and beak are suggested through bold, simplified lines typical of Celtic bronze potin-style engraving. To the right of the griffin, the tribal inscription MEDIOMA appears in Latin characters, identifying the issuing people, the Mediomatrici of the Moselle region. The overall composition is compact and slightly off-centre on the irregular flan, with the devices somewhat flattened due to uneven striking pressure.
