| Obverse description | Bare head of the Genius Populi Romani facing right, rendered in a bold Celtic interpretation of Roman style. The effigy displays flowing, deeply incised hair with pronounced wavy locks swept back from the face, and a short, stylized beard along the jaw. A crescent or torque-like symbol appears above the head in the field. The modelling is vigorous and expressive, characteristic of the Eraviscan die-cutters' adaptation of late Republican Roman prototypes. No legend is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Central composition featuring a large globus (globe) prominently placed in the middle of the field, flanked by a rudder to the upper right and a thunderbolt to the upper left, symbols of Roman imperium and divine power rendered in a schematic Celtic manner. The ethnic legend RAVIZ appears in the lower exergual area in crude Latin capitals, identifying the issuing tribe as the Eravisci. A row of small pellets is visible along the lower edge of the coin. The overall design closely imitates the reverse type of the Roman denarius of L. Lentulus and C. Marcellus. |
