| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic head facing left, rendered in the characteristic schematic Gaulish artistic tradition. The effigy wears a laureate helmet, its surface articulated with decorative Celtic motifs. The legend DOCI is incorporated into the design of the helmet as an ornamental element rather than a conventional epigraphic inscription. The facial features are abstracted, with a prominent eye rendered as a pellet or circular boss. The surrounding field is plain, consistent with the cast potin production technique of the Sequani tribe. |

| Reverse description | A schematically rendered quadruped, likely a boar or horse, depicted in left-facing profile and executed in the bold, stylized Celtic artistic manner typical of Sequani coinage. The animal's tail is prominently curled upward and terminates in a fine point, a distinctive typological feature of this series. The body is rendered in high relief with simplified musculature, and pellets or small globular ornaments are distributed in the field around the figure. The overall composition fills the flan with characteristic Gaulish asymmetry resulting from the cast production process. |
