| Obverse description | Highly stylised Celtic design derived from a classical wreath motif, rendered in the characteristic curvilinear La Tène artistic tradition. A prominent rayed solar disc or sun motif occupies the central field, surrounded by interlocking crescent forms and a toothed cogwheel element. Sweeping pellet-bordered arcs and sinuous lines fill the remaining field, creating a dynamic abstract composition with no inscriptions or legends. |

| Reverse description | A schematised horse advancing to the left, its body rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic style with disjointed limbs and a highly stylised form derived from earlier Macedonian prototype coinage. A leaf or branch motif appears above the horse in the upper field. Below the horse, a rayed cogwheel sun symbol occupies the lower field, accompanied by pellet ornaments. The composition is anepigraphic throughout, with no inscriptions or legends present. |
