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.
