| Obverse description | Diminutive helmeted head facing left, the neck clearly visible below the truncation, adorned with a double parallel headband rendered in schematic Celtic style. The eye is depicted as a hollow void, and a globule appears at the mouth, characteristic of Late Iron Age Gaulish artistic convention. The modelling is stylized and abbreviated, typical of the potin coinage attributed to the Sequani tribe of eastern Gaul. |

| Reverse description | A bull charging to the left with tail raised, depicted in a vigorous, highly stylized manner consistent with Gaulish potin coinage of the La Tène period. The body is rendered in bold, flowing relief with simplified musculature, the legs indicated by schematic linear forms. A small globule appears in the lower field to the left of the animal. The composition fills the irregular flan with characteristic Celtic abstraction, with no legend or exergual inscription present. |
