| Obverse description | Draped bust of a helmeted deity, likely Roma or a local tutelary divinity, facing right, rendered in a bold provincial style characteristic of late Republican Gallic mints. The helmet features a distinctive crest with parallel striations, and the hair falls in wavy locks beneath. The letter Q appears in the left field, denoting the quadrans denomination. A dotted border encircles the design. |

| Reverse description | A large pileus (liberty cap) depicted centrally, flanked by two small pellets or dots at its base, symbolizing the Dioscuri or civic freedom. The central device is surrounded by a wreath of laurel or olive branches that frames the entire field. The colonial inscription NEM COL appears in the lower portion of the reverse below the pileus, identifying the issuing colony. The composition is bold and utilitarian, consistent with local bronze coinage of the Augustan colonial period. |
