| Obverse description | Highly stylised and abstracted derivation of an Apollo head facing right, rendered in the La Tène Celtic artistic tradition. The design is dominated by a pair of crossed wreath bands forming a central X motif, with two outline back-to-back crescents positioned at the intersection. Stylised pellet-and-arc locks of hair radiate into each quadrant formed by the crossing wreaths. Notably absent is the central spike or boss typically found on closely related issues. The field is otherwise plain, consistent with the simplified, geometric character of this late Atrebatic struck series. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse striding to the right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract manner, with the ear depicted as a distinctive elliptical shape. Above the horse, a prominent eight-armed spiral sun symbol occupies the upper field. Beneath the horse, a six- or eight-spoked wheel with a central axle serves as a ground symbol. Scattered small ring pellets are distributed throughout the field. An anemone or flower symbol is placed in the field before the horse's head, completing the busy yet ordered decorative programme typical of late Atrebatic coinage. |
