Beschrijving voorzijde	Highly abstracted and devolved obverse derived ultimately from the classical wreathed head of Apollo. The design has been reduced to a series of elongated oval pellets arranged in diagonal clusters, representing vestigial hair strands, separated by incuse lines suggestive of the original laurel wreath branches. A prominent diagonal bar bisects the field, flanked by smaller groupings of oval bosses. The treatment is characteristic of the late Durotrigan series, in which figurative imagery has been entirely supplanted by bold, abstract relief elements. No legend or inscription is present, the field being otherwise plain.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Highly stylised and abstracted reverse derived from the classical disjointed horse motif of the Gallo-Belgic prototype, here reduced to near-total abstraction. The field displays a large cluster of bold spherical and sub-circular pellets of varying sizes, representing the vestigial body and limbs of the horse. Two curved incuse lines in the lower field serve as the last remnant of the horse's body outline or wheel symbol. A small trident-like or branch symbol appears in the lower left, accompanied by a rectangular element to the upper left, possibly a residual charioteer or wheel fragment. No legend or inscription is present.
