| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing right, rendered in the Celtic abstract tradition, with hair arranged in sweeping, exaggerated locks. A boar passant right surmounts the head, serving as a characteristic totem emblem. Four beaded cordons radiate from the head, each terminating in a distinct small human or animal head, creating a radiating decorative composition typical of Armorican Gaulish coinage. |

| Reverse description | An androcephalic horse bridled and prancing right, rendered in the dynamic, abstracted style characteristic of Armorican Celtic coinage. Above the horse, a charioteer figure grasps an undulating line or rein connecting to a standard or ensign that floats before the horse's head. A spoked wheel appears beneath the horse's tail, and a winged or foliate figure is depicted before the horse's chest. Beneath the horse, a boar passant left serves as a secondary emblem, a recurring totem on Veneti issues. |
