| Obverse description | Stylised laureate head facing left, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with boldly hatched hair locks radiating from the crown and a prominent eye indicated by a pellet. The effigy is set within an encircling beaded border, characteristic of Allobrogian coinage of the late Republican period. The facial features are rendered in a abstracted manner typical of Gaulish silver coinage influenced by Greek prototypes. |

| Reverse description | A horse shown in full gallop to the left, its body rendered in the energetic, disjointed Celtic style with exaggerated limbs and a pronounced mane. Beneath the horse, a prominent four-spoked wheel or rowel enclosed within a beaded circle occupies the lower field, serving as the principal emblematic device of the series. The legend VOL appears in the upper field in Latin characters, likely an abbreviated tribal or magistrate name. The entire design is contained within a beaded outer border, consistent with the DT#3122 type attributed to the Allobroges. |
