| Obverse description | Stylized human head facing right in schematic Celtic artistic style, rendered with minimal detail typical of cast potin coinage. The facial features are summarily indicated, with a prominent curved line suggesting the profile of the brow and nose. The hair or headdress is suggested by radiating or striated lines extending from the head into the surrounding field. The overall composition is characteristic of late La Tène Celtic artistic convention, where naturalistic representation gives way to abstracted, symbolic forms. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in the schematic, abstracted manner characteristic of Gaulish cast potin coinage. The animal's body is compact and summarily modeled, with curvilinear lines suggesting the neck, haunches, and legs. Above or beneath the horse, small pellets or linear elements may appear as decorative field ornaments, consistent with the Parisii series as catalogued under DT 684 and LT 9924. The overall design reflects the late La Tène Celtic aesthetic, in which naturalistic animal forms are reduced to bold, recognizable symbols. |
