Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in a schematic Gallo-Belgic style with stylized hair indicated by incised lines above the cranium. The legend ARG AMBACT is disposed in the field, partially behind the neck and partially before the face, in large Latin capitals. The portrait is set within a plain, slightly irregular border typical of cast Celtic coinage of the late first century BC.

Reverse description A bovine figure — an ox — depicted in profile facing right, with the head turned frontally toward the viewer in a distinctive three-quarter perspective. The animal is rendered in a robust, stylized Gaulish artistic tradition, with the body occupying the central field. A laurel wreath encircles the entire design, framing the ox within its borders. A vertical object, possibly a spear or standard, appears to the right of the animal. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with the cast production technique.
