| Obverse description | Stylized head facing left rendered in the schematic Celtic idiom, the hair depicted as three S-shaped curvilinear elements arranged around the skull. The facial features are rendered in an abstract, almost diabolical manner characteristic of the Turoni Class I series. The design is executed in low relief consistent with the cast potin technique, with no surrounding legend or border. |

| Reverse description | A charging bull advancing to the left, depicted in the schematic Celtic style typical of Gaulish potin coinage. The bull's head is lowered beneath a small cross or cruciform symbol positioned above the neck. The composition is enclosed within a plain circular border, with no legend present. The relief is shallow and the surface shows the characteristic texture of cast potin manufacture. |
