| Obverse description | Stylized helmeted head facing left, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition with bold, flowing relief. The helmet is indicated by a rounded cap merging with the hair, depicted as deeply grooved, sweeping curvilinear locks. A floral motif, interpreted as a flower or rosette, is positioned in the field immediately before the mouth. The facial features are summarily modeled, with a prominent eye and strong jawline characteristic of Gaulish cast potin coinage. |

| Reverse description | A bull advancing to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic style, its body positioned above a ground line whose center is accentuated by a pellet or ball ornament. A stylized lily or floral motif rises above the midpoint of the bull's back, serving as the principal identifying design element of this class. The overall composition is typical of the Leuci potin series, combining zoomorphic and vegetal symbolism in a flat, cast relief format. |
