| Obverse description | Highly stylised derivative of an Apollo head rendered in the Celtic La Tène tradition, depicting a wreath motif reduced to a pattern of curved lines and pellets. A prominent pellet-in-ring device is centrally placed within a circular arrangement of pellets, representing the abstracted laurel wreath surrounding the deity's head. The design is characteristic of the Atrebatic coinage tradition, with the naturalistic Hellenistic prototype dissolved into flowing abstract ornament across the irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse advancing to the left, rendered in the abstract Celtic idiom with a beaded or pellet-dotted mane rendered as a row of raised pellets along the neck. A large pellet-in-ring symbol is placed beneath the horse in the lower field, serving as a ground line device. Above the horse, a floral or rayed sun ornament occupies the upper field. The composition is typical of Atrebatic quarter stater reverse designs, with the field filled by symbolic decorative elements characteristic of the Regni Ratham series. |
