| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing right, rendered in the schematic Late Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of the Belgic Remi tribe. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, radiating striated locks framing the face, with a prominent eye and angular facial features typical of Gallo-Belgic bronze coinage. The surface shows an irregular flan consistent with the cast production technique. The legend CORIARCOS CVRNOS appears in the field, referencing the local Remic chieftain or magistrate Coriarcos. |

| Reverse description | A lion passant or bounding right, depicted in a schematized Celtic style with exaggerated musculature and curvilinear body contours characteristic of Late Iron Age Gallo-Belgic bronzes. The surrounding field is bordered by a beaded circle, with pellets and linear decorative elements scattered in the exergue and field. The abbreviated legend A HIR IMP is distributed around the lion, referencing Aulus Hirtius, the Roman proconsul of Gallia Belgica, in his capacity as imperator. |
