| Obverse description | Stylized human head facing left in Gaulish La Tène artistic tradition. The eye is rendered as a prominent pellet or raised boss, and the ear is distinctly marked. A beaded or pellet-bordered arc above the head likely represents a schematic helmet or diadem, characteristic of Ruteni tribal coinage. The facial features are rendered with the abstracted, curvilinear treatment typical of late Gaulish silver issues. |

| Reverse description | Horse advancing left in a schematic La Tène style. A curved line issues from the horse's mouth and terminates in a beaded or pellet circle, possibly representing a torque, lyre symbol, or abstract ornamental device. A beaded ringlet or pellet annulet is positioned above the croup of the horse. The field is otherwise plain, and the design elements reflect the highly stylized zoomorphic conventions characteristic of Ruteni silver drachm coinage. |
