| Obverse description | Large schematized head facing left, occupying the full width of the flan in characteristic Gallo-Belgic style. The effigy wears a helmet secured by a double parallel headband adorned with a row of globules. The eye is rendered as a hollow void, and a globule is placed at the mouth, reflecting the abstract Celtic artistic idiom. The overall composition is bold and fills the field with minimal surrounding space. |

| Reverse description | A bull charging to the left with tail raised, rendered in a vigorous yet schematized Celtic style within a raised circular border. The animal's musculature is summarily indicated, with the head lowered in a charging posture and the legs extended in full stride. The field surrounding the bull is plain, and the circular border frames the design on all sides. The coin image visible shows this reverse type clearly, consistent with the Sequani potin series catalogued under DT#3088A and LT#5368. |
