| Obverse description | Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic head depicted in left profile, rendered in the characteristic La Tène artistic tradition. The facial features are reduced to bold, schematic elements — a pronounced beak-like nose, a vestigial eye, and flowing hair locks dissolving into abstract curvilinear forms. The relief is bold but irregular, consistent with hand-struck Celtic coinage of the Boii tribe. The field is uneven and unlettered, typical of this regional issue. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse prancing to the right occupies the central field, depicted in the abstracted Celtic manner characteristic of Boii coinage. Above the horse, two circular or pellet-cluster symbols flank the upper field — a crescent or torque-like motif to the left and a segmented circular device to the right, likely derived from the original Greek prototype's charioteer. The horse's anatomy is rendered with elongated, angular limbs and a simplified body. The field is plain and unlettered, with no exergual line. |
