| Obverse description | Stylized schematic head facing right within a raised circular border, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of Gaulish potin coinage. The facial features are highly simplified, with the head reduced to a series of curved and angular relief elements. The field is uneven due to the cast production method, and no inscription or legend is present. The flan is irregular with a pronounced scalloped or lobed outer edge typical of cast Gaulish potins. |

| Reverse description | A boar depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic Celtic style within a raised circular border. The animal's bristled dorsal ridge is suggested by a series of raised lines along the back, and the body is conveyed with bold, simplified relief typical of Gaulish cast coinage. No legend or inscription is present in the field. The flan displays the characteristic irregular, lobed edge resulting from the casting process, with areas of natural silver-grey patina and minor green cuprite deposits. |
