| Obverse description | Stylized male bust facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic La Tène artistic tradition with flowing, rope-like hair strands radiating outward from the head. The facial features are schematically rendered, with a prominent eye and simplified facial contours. The legend CATAL appears in the field before the bust, serving as a tribal or magistrate identifier. The coin's flan is irregular and the relief is bold, consistent with late Gaulish bronze coinage of the Carnutes tribe. |

| Reverse description | A lion springing to the right occupies the central field, depicted in the abstracted Celtic artistic style with exaggerated musculature and curvilinear detailing. A boar passant to the left is positioned in the lower portion of the field, a recurring totemic symbol in Carnutes coinage. A four-spoked wheel appears in the upper field, a common solar or religious emblem in Gaulish numismatic iconography. The letter S is visible in the lower field below the lion, likely serving as an additional mint or magistrate mark. |
