| Obverse description | Male head facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract style, with flowing curly hair depicted in the left field. The head is framed by a laurel wreath ascending between two rows of pellets, creating a decorative border around the central effigy. The stylized features reflect the late La Tène artistic tradition typical of Boian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylized Celtic horse leaping to the left, executed in the abstracted La Tène artistic manner. A bird or wing motif is depicted on the horse's back, serving as a distinctive type identifier. A single pellet appears beneath the tail. The design is characteristic of Boian coinage derived from earlier Macedonian prototypes, with highly schematized rendering of anatomical forms. |
