| Obverse description | Stylized beardless head facing right, rendered in a highly abstracted La Tène artistic style. The hair is depicted as a series of deeply incised spiral and scroll motifs filling much of the field, typical of late Celtic coinage. A beaded necklace or torque is indicated at the neck. The flan is bordered by a ring of raised pellets forming a beaded rim. The facial features, including a schematic eye rendered as a small pellet, are reduced to minimal but recognizable elements consistent with the Nauheimer type tradition. |

| Reverse description | Anthropomorphic 'birdman' figure standing and facing left in a highly schematized La Tène style, the body rendered as a compact, rounded form with vestigial limbs. The figure carries or is associated with a prominent open torque or ring displayed prominently to the left. The entire design is surrounded by a border of raised pellets. Pellet groupings appear in the field around the figure, a characteristic decorative element of the Nauheimer type series. The overall composition reflects the abstract zoomorphic and anthropomorphic iconographic tradition of eastern Gaulish Celtic coinage. |
