| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing right in the La Tène Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with schematic but expressive features including a prominent nose and exaggerated facial contours. The hair is depicted in a series of raised pellets or curved strands arranged above and around the skull, typical of Gaulish coinage iconography. The surface shows patches of green patination consistent with prolonged burial. A row of pellets is visible along the lower left field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of hand-struck Celtic bronze coinage. |

| Reverse description | A horseman galloping to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic style with elongated limbs and stylized musculature typical of Gaulish bronze coinage. The horse is depicted in full stride with curved neck and flowing tail, accompanied by scattered pellets in the field that may represent decorative or symbolic elements. A floral or rosette motif appears above the horse. The legend MEDIO is partially visible in the exergue or lower field, serving as a tribal attribution to the Mediomatrici. The overall design reflects the abstract yet vigorous artistic conventions of late Gaulish coinage. |
