| Obverse description | Stylized helmeted head facing left in the La Tène artistic tradition, rendered with schematic linear forms characteristic of Gaulish Celtic coinage. The helmet is indicated by incised lines above the brow, with a prominent pellet eye and curved facial features. The hair or helmet crest is rendered as a series of flowing curved lines extending behind the head. The overall style reflects the abstract, decorative treatment typical of late Gaulish silver quinarii of the first century BC. |

| Reverse description | A stylized bridled horse prancing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic La Tène style with a large central pellet and radiating lines suggesting the horse's limbs and tail. A delta (triangular symbol) appears above the horse's back, while a half-rowel or spur symbol is positioned between its legs. The legend KALETEDOY, referencing the tribal or magistrate authority, is distributed around the horse in abbreviated form. The field is plain, with the design elements arranged in dynamic, schematic fashion typical of Gaulish coinage of this period. |
