| Obverse description | Stylized diademed head facing left, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition. The hair is indicated by three distinct locks, and the neck is articulated by a series of oblique dashes. The eye is rendered as a void or pellet surrounded by a raised ringlet positioned on the cheek, a characteristic feature of Leuci potin coinage. The overall treatment is deliberately rough, reflecting the cast production technique. |

| Reverse description | A boar-sign facing left with a curled tail, rendered in the characteristic abstract Celtic style. A lily-shaped or lituus-form stem rises from the center of the exergue line, serving as a class-defining element for this issue. The design is boldly conceived with minimal detail, consistent with the cast potin technique employed by the Leuci tribe of the Treveri region. |
