Obverse description Plain, deeply concave field exhibiting a pronounced central boss or bulge, characteristic of the Folkusova type fabric. The surface is devoid of any figural or epigraphic design, the convex protrusion serving as the defining obverse feature. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck Celtic coinage of the period.

Reverse description Stylised wheel or solar motif rendered in a highly abstracted Celtic manner, composed of a raised central pellet or boss set within a plain circular border, surrounded by radiating lines or spokes extending toward the serrated outer rim. The design is deeply influenced by late La Tène artistic conventions, reducing the classical prototype to its essential geometric elements. No legend or inscription is present.
