| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized male head facing right in the La Tène artistic tradition, rendered with highly schematic features; the hair is elaborately delineated in large, sweeping locks terminating in pronounced S-shaped volutes. The entire effigy is encircled by a beaded cord or dotted border, characteristic of Armorican Celtic coinage. The facial anatomy is abstracted, with the eye rendered as a prominent pellet or boss and the chin sharply defined. The composition reflects the dynamic, curvilinear decorative vocabulary typical of late Gaulish silver issues. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | An androcephalic horse — a horse with a human head — depicted in profile facing right, with a visible bridle rendered in fine relief. Surmounting the horse, a charioteer figure grasps a staff or whip, a vestigial reference to the biga chariot scene inherited from earlier Greek prototypes. Beneath the horse, a prominent wheel motif with clearly articulated spokes occupies the lower field, serving as the principal emblem of this issue. The composition is executed in the characteristic abstract Celtic style, with subsidiary pellets and geometric fillers distributed throughout the field. The overall design exemplifies the progressive stylization of Hellenistic prototypes as adapted by Armorican Veneti die-cutters. |
