| Obverse description | Stylized helmeted head facing left, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of Belgic Gaul. The helmet is delineated by a wavy or beaded line tracing its outline, with the facial features reduced to abstract pellets and raised relief. The neck and chin are boldly modeled, and the overall composition fills the irregular flan with the head occupying the central field. |

| Reverse description | A boar-sign depicted in left profile, rendered in the highly stylized La Tène manner typical of Belgic coinage. The animal's tail is curled forward beneath the hindquarters, and the body is rendered schematically with exaggerated dorsal bristles. To the right or beneath the boar appears a small severed human head, its facial features faintly discernible, a motif associated with Celtic warrior cult iconography. The composition is characteristic of the Remi tribal series as catalogued under DT 151 and LT 9180. |
