| Obverse description | Highly stylized abstract design composed of multiple curved and diagonal lines arranged in a dynamic, flowing pattern across the flan, rendered in the typical La Tène artistic tradition. The design is derived from a degraded classical prototype, likely ultimately derived from a Macedonian stater obverse, reduced to a series of bold, sweeping relief lines. No legend or inscription is present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with primitive Celtic hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylized depiction of a ship or boat rendered in the La Tène Celtic artistic style, shown in profile within a linear border. A central globular element, likely representing a mast or figure, rises above the hull, which is flanked by radiating lines suggestive of oars or waves. The composition fills the flan and is executed in bold, schematic relief with no accompanying legend or inscription. |
