Obverse description	Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the stylised Celtic idiom derived from Macedonian prototypes, with voluminous curling locks of hair radiating dramatically around the cranium. The facial features are bold and plastically modelled, with a pronounced brow, almond-shaped eye, and strong jawline characteristic of Gaulish celator workmanship. A laurel wreath, its leaves rendered in schematic but energetic relief, crowns the head. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no legend or inscription in the field.

Reverse description	A charioteer driving a galloping biga to the right, depicted in the abstracted La Tène artistic style typical of Gaulish coinage, with the horses rendered in vigorous motion and the charioteer reduced to a schematic figure above. In the lower field, a triskelion — a three-armed rotary symbol of Celtic religious significance — is prominently displayed alongside a stylised grain ear or cereal motif. The surrounding field is animated with pellets, geometric ornaments, and curvilinear decorative elements scattered across the flan, characteristic of the Arvernian or related central Gaulish workshop tradition.
