| Obverse description | Highly stylized head facing right in the La Tène artistic tradition, with four braids rendered behind in a schematic manner, connected by small transverse lines. Ornamental torque-shaped elements adorn the field around the effigy, characteristic of Carnutes tribal coinage. The abstracted facial features reflect the decorative, non-naturalistic style typical of Gaulish bronze issues of the late Republican period. |

| Reverse description | Wolf striding to the left with mouth agape and tongue prominently extended, rendered in a stylized Gaulish artistic manner. A pseudo-legend, consisting of decorative or imitative characters without readable meaning, appears above the wolf in the upper field. A star or celestial symbol is placed between the animal's paws in the lower field. The overall surface displays a grained or granulated texture, and the composition is enclosed within an irregular flan typical of struck Gaulish bronze coinage. |
