| Obverse description | Laureate male head facing left, rendered in the schematized Celtic artistic style derived from Massalian prototypes. The hair is depicted as a series of flowing, incuse locks or strands radiating from the crown, with a beaded border partially visible along the left rim. The facial features are stylized, with a pronounced brow and simplified relief characteristic of Gaulish coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse prancing or galloping to the left, depicted in a schematic Celtic manner with exaggerated rounded haunches and elongated limbs. Above the horse, a row of pellets or dots is visible in the upper field, and a stylized caduceus or sword-like symbol appears above the horse's back. The overall composition is typical of the Allobroges coinage derived from Massalian drachm prototypes, with the field showing scattered decorative elements. |
