| Obverse description | Celticised male head facing left, rendered in the schematised La Tène artistic tradition derived from classical Greek prototypes. The facial features are boldly modelled with a pronounced nose and strong jawline, while the hair is depicted as a mass of deeply incised, curvilinear locks arranged across the crown and nape. The surface of the flan shows the characteristic irregular texture of hand-struck Celtic coinage. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing vigorously to the right, rendered in the stylised, abstract manner typical of Eastern Celtic coinage, with exaggerated musculature and disjointed limbs reflecting the La Tène decorative idiom. Above the horse, a prominent multi-rayed star or solar disc ornament occupies the upper field, clearly visible as a rosette with a central boss surrounded by radiating pellets. Beneath the horse, a group of four pellets is arranged in the lower field. The coin is uninscribed and the field is otherwise plain. |
