| Obverse description | Stylized head facing left, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition, featuring a prominently bulbous, highly-developed skullcap and a bifid or forked neck treatment. A single globule, placed in front of the forehead, serves to denote the eye, lending the portrait an abstract, geometric character. The facial features are reduced to essential linear elements, consistent with the casting technique employed for this Gaulish potin series. |

| Reverse description | A charging bull depicted in profile moving to the right, rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Gaulish potin coinage. The animal is shown with head lowered in a charging posture, its body rendered with incised linear detailing suggesting musculature. The bull stands above a clearly defined exergue line that separates the type from the lower field. The overall composition is typical of the Bituriges Cubi coinage tradition, consistent with the image visible on the flan. |
