| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing left, rendered in the Celtic abstract idiom with short hair indicated by radiating strokes and a pearl diadem encircling the cranium. The facial features are reduced to schematic pellets and curves, with a prominent swirling eye rendered as a concentric circular motif. The overall treatment is characteristic of late La Tène Kleinsilber coinage, in which Mediterranean prototypes are progressively abstracted into near-geometric forms. |

| Reverse description | A horse advancing to the left, depicted in the highly stylised Celtic manner typical of Boian Kleinsilber issues. The body is rendered as a series of bold globular and elongated pellet forms, with the legs indicated by curved strokes below. A large prominent pellet or annulet appears above the horse's back, and additional pellet ornaments fill the field, reflecting the progressive abstraction of the equine motif common to this series. |
