| Obverse description | Stylized head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the distinctly abstracted Celtic artistic tradition derived from Hellenistic prototypes. The hair is elaborately rendered in flowing, swirling locks radiating outward from the crown, executed with deeply incised, lyre-shaped strands characteristic of Aquitanian Celtic coinage. The facial features are schematically modeled, with a pronounced brow, almond-shaped eye, and subtly defined nose and chin visible in profile. The neck is broad and the overall relief is bold, filling the irregular flan. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A boar passant facing left, depicted in the characteristic schematized Celtic style with prominent dorsal bristles and boldly modeled body. A palm branch appears below the boar, while two crossed palm branches with a floral motif at their intersection are positioned above. These vegetal symbols are rendered with stylized, linear detail typical of late Gaulish coinage of the Aquitanian region. The flan is irregular and the design is struck off-center, with no inscription or legend present in the field or exergue. |
