| Obverse description | Highly schematized Celtic effigy of a head facing right, rendered in the so-called 'Indian' style characteristic of Senonian coinage. The hair is swept back in a continuous flowing line merging with the neck, and a prominent globulated eye dominates the facial field. A curved semicircular pellet decorates the cheek area, reflecting the abstract La Tène artistic tradition. The facial features are reduced to essential geometric elements, with the overall composition displaying the fluid, curvilinear style typical of late Gaulish cast potin coinage. |

| Reverse description | Highly stylized Celtic horse facing left, its body and limbs reduced to bold, abstracted curvilinear forms characteristic of the La Tène decorative tradition. Three globules are distributed around the horse in the field, serving as ornamental fill elements commonly encountered on Senonian potin issues. The design, typical of cast Gaulish coinage of the period, conveys movement through schematic line work rather than naturalistic representation. No legend or additional motifs are present. |
