| Obverse description | Highly stylized schematic head facing left, rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted by three coiled or voluted lines arranged across the cranium, a characteristic decorative convention of Gaulish potin coinage. The lower portion of the neck is visible beneath the head. The facial features are reduced to abstract forms, with no individualized portraiture, consistent with the anonymous civic coinage of the Gaulish tribes. |

| Reverse description | Three crosslets arranged in a triangular formation occupy the central field, flanked on either side by curved lines that frame the composition. Above the crosslets, three pellets are disposed in a triangular cluster. The ground line at the base is composed of a series of short vertical strokes, a common convention in Gaulish potin reverse designs. The overall layout is geometric and schematic, characteristic of the late La Tène period coinage of the Durocasses tribe. |
