| Obverse description | Schematized human head facing right, rendered in the characteristic flat, stylized manner of Gaulish potin coinage. The facial features are summarily indicated, with a prominent eye and simplified hair treatment typical of late La Tène artistic conventions. A dextrorotatory swastika motif appears in the field, serving as a symbolic device. The overall design is contained within a raised circular border, consistent with the cast production technique. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | A stylized animal, identifiable as a boar or similar quadruped, depicted in profile moving to the right within a raised circular border. The body is rendered in a schematic, abstracted La Tène style, with exaggerated dorsal bristles and summary limb treatment. Additional symbolic devices appear in the field surrounding the animal figure. The design is characteristic of the Bituriges Cubi potin series and shows the flat, slightly blurred relief typical of cast potin production. No legend or inscription is present. |
