| Obverse description | Stylised abstract design in the Celtic La Tène tradition, dominated by two opposed confronting crescents at centre, their open faces forming a symmetrical composition sometimes interpreted as schematic moon faces or masks. The field is populated with multiple pellets arranged in clusters and a series of concentric ring-and-pellet motifs — annulets with central pellets — distributed across the upper and lower registers. The overall composition is highly geometric and non-figurative, hammered on an irregular flan with characteristic surface texture. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

| Reverse description | A stylised Celtic horse prances to the right across the central field, rendered in the characteristic abstract La Tène manner with a curved, arched body and segmented legs. The mane is depicted as a series of curved lines or pellets. Below the horse is a decorative ground line composed of a ladder or box pattern filled with pellets. The upper field features prominent concentric ring-and-pellet motifs (annulets) in the upper left and upper right corners, with additional pellet clusters scattered throughout the field. No inscription or legend is present. |
