| Obverse description | Concave, essentially blank field with a deeply dished, uninscribed surface characteristic of the incuse obverse type associated with Celtic hammered coinage. The flan exhibits irregular flow lines and surface striations from the striking process, with no discernible figurative motif, consistent with the Roseldorf II obol series produced by the Boii. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Stylised quadruped, likely a horse or boar, depicted in a schematic Celtic artistic idiom moving to the left, with a segmented body rendered in low relief. Multiple pellets are distributed across the field above and around the animal, serving as decorative fill elements typical of Boian small silver coinage. Below the quadruped, a circular boss or annulet with a central pellet is visible, flanked by additional pellet ornaments. The overall composition is compact and abstracted, reflecting the late La Tène artistic tradition. No inscription or legend present. |
