| Obverse description | Large stylized helmeted head facing left, rendered in the characteristic schematic Celtic artistic tradition. The eye is depicted as a prominent raised globule, a hallmark of Gaulish potin coinage. Two pellets flank the head in the field, one on each side, serving as decorative or symbolic fillers. The helmet and facial features are rendered with bold, simplified lines typical of late La Tène period cast coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse prancing to the left, depicted in the abstracted geometric manner characteristic of Gaulish tribal coinage. Above the horse, four globules are arranged in a T-shaped formation, a distinctive and identifying feature of this Senones type. Two additional globules are placed before the horse's forequarters, flanking the front of the animal. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction of the Macedonian prototype horse motif as adapted by Celtic die-cutters. |
