| Obverse description | Stylised male head facing right, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with distinctive linear hair strands depicted as a series of parallel curved ridges sweeping across the crown. The facial features are summarily indicated, with a circular pellet eye and a curvilinear nose and jaw. The treatment reflects the La Tène decorative style characteristic of Sequani coinage, with bold relief modelling on a compact, irregularly-shaped flan. No legend appears on this face. |

| Reverse description | A horse in motion facing left, rendered in the stylised Celtic manner with exaggerated, abstracted anatomy typical of Gaulish coinage of the late La Tène period. The body is compactly modelled with a beaded or dotted border partially visible along the flan edge, and an annulet or circular device appears in the upper field above the horse. The design derives from earlier Macedonian prototype reverses but has been thoroughly reinterpreted in the Sequani artistic idiom. The legend TOGIRIX, referencing the tribal chieftain or magistrate of authority, is associated with this type. |
