Beschrijving voorzijde Stylized male head facing left, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with exaggerated, flowing hair depicted as a series of diagonal ridges sweeping behind the neck. The facial features are summarily engraved, with a prominent nose and simplified eye. A large pellet or rosette device appears prominently in front of the face, a characteristic element of the Volcae Tectosages coinage. The overall style reflects the late La Tène period of Gaulish coin production.

Beschrijving keerzijde Two pelekoi (double-headed axes) arranged in opposition — facing left and right respectively — separated by a central vertical element, possibly a thyrsus or staff, with a pellet at its apex. The axes are rendered in bold, high relief with clearly articulated blades and handles, filling the flan in a bold, symmetrical composition. The design is characteristic of the Volcae Tectosages series and relates iconographically to southern Gaulish coinage influenced by Massaliote prototypes. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or exergual inscription.
