| Obverse description | Laureate head of a deity facing right, rendered in the schematized La Tène Celtic style with stylized hair indicated by curved striations swept back from the brow. The facial features are summarily modeled, with a pronounced brow, defined eye, and simplified nose and mouth. The neck is bare, and the overall treatment reflects the Gaulish adaptation of Hellenistic portraiture, with no inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | A goat or equine figure prancing to the right in a lively, stylized Celtic rendering, with forelegs raised and a flowing mane depicted by a long curved line extending above the back. In the lower field, a six-spoked wheel or rowel symbol is visible, accompanied by a pellet-in-annulet arrangement, serving as a characteristic Allobrogian tribal emblem. The composition fills the flan with vigorous Celtic artistic energy, and the design is unlettered. |
