| Obverse description | Stylized head facing right rendered in a schematic Celtic idiom, with boldly incised linear features indicating the eye, nose, and mouth. Radiating strokes projecting from the crown of the head suggest a solar or spiked headdress motif. The die work is deeply cut but crudely executed, consistent with the local Ibero-Celtic coinage tradition of the Roussillon region. The surfaces show natural flan irregularity characteristic of hand-struck small silver coinage. No legend or inscription is present. |
