Obverse description Draped female head facing left, wearing a helmet or crested cap, with a pellet or dot visible before the face. The portrait is rendered in a Celtic imitative style derived from Roman Republican prototypes, with simplified facial features and a naturalistic yet stylized treatment of the hair and headdress. The neck is bare and truncated at the base. The field is plain, and the flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of Celtic hand-struck coinage.

Reverse description A hound in full gallop to the right, depicted with elongated body and outstretched legs in a flying-gallop pose characteristic of Celtic coinage. Below the hound, a horizontal javelin or spear is visible, a recurring element on Eraviscan issues. The retrograde or abbreviated tribal inscription appears in the lower portion of the field. The rendering is vigorous and schematic, consistent with the Celtic artistic tradition of abstracted animal forms.
