| Obverse description | Helmeted bust of Roma facing right, rendered in a Gallo-Roman provincial style derived from Roman Republican denarii. The helmet displays a prominent crest with stylized flowing plumes, rendered with bold, schematic relief characteristic of Celtic die-cutting. The facial features are summarily engraved, with a large almond-shaped eye, a straight nose, and a strongly defined jaw. The neck is draped, and the legend VIRODV appears in the field, likely abbreviated from a local tribal name or magistrate. |

| Reverse description | Warrior on horseback galloping to the right at full stride, depicted in a dynamic Celtic artistic convention. The rider wears a billowing cloak that streams behind him and brandishes a spear in his raised right hand. The horse is rendered with elongated limbs and stylized musculature typical of Gallic coinage of this period. The legend TVROCA appears in the field, interpreted as a tribal or place name associated with the Rhone Valley region. |
