| Obverse description | Celticized male head facing left, rendered in a stylized La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is arranged into three prominent conch shell-like coiled curls framing the face, with additional pellet and linear ornamental details visible in the field. The facial features are boldly modeled with a pronounced eye rendered as a raised pellet within an almond-shaped outline. A beaded border partially surrounds the design on the flan. |

| Reverse description | A quadripartite cruciform design divides the reverse into four quarters, characteristic of the Volcae Tectosages coinage tradition. Two opposing quarters each contain a crescent (lunula), while the remaining two opposing quarters bear a crescent-with-pellet and a lis-with-bar motif respectively. The overall composition reflects a highly stylized abstraction of the Massalian prototype, with the design elements distributed symmetrically across the four sections of the field. |
