Obverse description	Helmeted head of Roma facing right, rendered in a stylized Celtic interpretation of the Roman prototype. The helmet is detailed with a prominent crest and visor, while the hair falls in bold, deeply engraved wavy locks behind the neck. A partial legend in debased Latin characters appears in the upper field surrounding the bust. The design is framed by a partial beaded border on the right side, characteristic of the Celtic Hungarian group imitative series.

Reverse description	A nude or lightly draped male figure, interpreted as the Dioscuri or a Celtic warrior, riding a galloping horse to the right. Above the horse, stylized vegetation or trophy elements are rendered in an abstract Celtic manner, and a string of pellets appears near the rider. The inscription LAES ROMA is placed in the lower exergual area in a debased Latin script, reflecting the Celtic imitation of Roman Republican denarius types. The overall composition shows vigorous movement characteristic of La Tène artistic tradition.
