| Obverse description | Heavily corroded and irregular flan displaying a deeply pitted, granular surface characteristic of Celtic hammered coinage. The field is largely featureless due to advanced surface degradation, with faint raised elements visible suggesting a highly stylized or abstracted design typical of late Celtic Norican coinage. No inscriptions or legends are present. The irregular flan edge reflects the hand-cut planchet preparation common to Celtic silver fractions of this period. |

| Reverse description | A Winckelkreuz (angled cross) motif occupies the central field, formed by four arms radiating from a central pellet. The cross arms are rendered in low, worn relief with angular, schematic execution characteristic of late Celtic die engraving from the Norican region. The quadrants defined by the cross arms contain additional decorative elements, partially obscured by corrosion and die wear. No legend or inscription is present. The flan is irregular and the overall strike is off-center, consistent with the hammered production technique of this series. |
