| Obverse description | Bare head of Apollo facing right, rendered in a Hellenistic style with long wavy hair bound by a fillet; the locks fall gracefully along the neck. The portrait exhibits a youthful, idealized character consistent with Greek artistic influence on Cisalpine Gaulish coinage. A beaded border frames the design, accentuating the central effigy within the round, irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A rooster stands facing right in the central field, its plumage rendered with stylized detail typical of Cisalpine Gaulish engraving. A six-pointed star or celestial symbol appears to the left behind the bird. The legend CΛLEИC is inscribed to the right of the figure in a partially retrograde or irregular Latin-influenced script, likely referencing a tribal name or mint authority. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border on the irregular flan. |
