| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in a schematic Celto-Ligurian style with stylized hair depicted as a series of short, curved locks radiating from the crown. The facial features are summarily executed, characteristic of the local Ligurian coinage tradition derived from Massalian prototypes. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no encircling legend. |

| Reverse description | A stylized bird, likely an eagle or crow, depicted in profile facing left with wings partially spread, rendered in a highly abstracted Celto-Ligurian manner. Above the bird, a cluster of pellets is arranged in a triangular or irregular group, a decorative motif typical of Ligurian small silver coinage. The design fills the compact irregular flan without any encircling legend. |
