Obverse description	Stylized male head in left profile, wearing a crested open-faced helmet rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition. The facial features are boldly modeled with a prominent nose and defined eye. A pelletized cross motif occupies the field behind the head, serving as a characteristic secondary symbol of this Aeduan series. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hand-struck Celtic coinage of the period.

Reverse description	A horse rendered in energetic, abstracted Celtic style galloping to the left, its body and limbs depicted with characteristic La Tène stylization. An annulet appears in the upper field above the horse's back, while a pellet-in-annulet symbol is positioned beneath the horse in the lower field. The groundline and field elements are reduced to schematic forms typical of the Aeduan billon coinage. No legend is present; the composition fills the irregularly shaped flan.
