| Obverse description | Bare or lightly draped male head facing left, rendered in a stylized Celtic adaptation of Hellenistic portraiture, with carefully delineated wavy hair swept back and decorated with a prominent leaf or floral ornament above the brow. The facial features are schematically modeled, with a pronounced chin and simplified eye. The legend NINNO appears in the left field, running downward alongside the portrait. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hammered Gaulish silver coinage of the late La Tène period. |

| Reverse description | Eagle or bird of prey depicted with spread wings, rendered in a bold and abstracted Celtic style, facing or seen from above with wings extending across the flan. A small globule or pellet is visible above the central figure, and a small symbol, possibly a carnyx or weapon, appears in the lower field. The design is characteristic of the Rauraci coinage tradition, derived from the quinarius type with its standard reverse bird motif, executed with the vigorous schematism typical of late Gaulish hammered silver. |
