| Obverse description | Highly stylised laureate wreath rendered in the Celtic La Tène artistic tradition, depicted as two opposing rows of rounded pellets and elongated boss-shaped leaves arranged diagonally across the field, enclosed within a double border of pellets. The abstracted design retains the overall compositional structure of the classical wreath prototype while reducing it to a pattern of raised globular elements. No inscriptions or legends are present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex. |

| Reverse description | Highly stylised Celtic horse prancing to left, rendered in the abstract La Tène manner with exaggerated haunches, elongated legs, and a schematically defined body. A small bird, depicted in profile, is positioned above and to the left of the horse's head, serving as a secondary device characteristic of this regional coinage type. Scattered pellets and linear elements appear in the field. The composition fills the flan, with no inscriptions present. |
