| Obverse description | Stylized seated figure rendered in the Celtic La Tène artistic tradition, depicted in a schematic, abstracted manner characteristic of Belgic coinage. The figure is shown frontally or three-quarter, with the body resolved into a series of curved lines, pellets, and sinuous relief elements. Surrounding the central motif are flowing, curvilinear wave-like patterns filling the field. No legend or inscription is present. The overall composition reflects the late Iron Age Gaulish tendency toward geometric abstraction derived from earlier Hellenistic prototypes. |

| Reverse description | A stylized quadruped, likely a horse or bull, depicted in profile moving to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic tradition. Above and around the animal are multiple pellets of varying sizes arranged in a distinctive decorative pattern, along with a prominent crescent or lunate symbol to the left. The field is bordered by a beaded or dotted outer rim. No inscription is present. The composition is typical of Treveran silver coinage of the late Gaulish period, reflecting the progressive abstraction of Macedonian prototype imagery. |
