| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic male head facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène artistic tradition with bold, abstracted features. The face is dominated by a prominent eye depicted as a raised pellet within a socket, with a heavy brow and squared jaw. The hair or headdress is elaborately rendered as a series of curvilinear strands and raised ridges radiating from the crown. Multiple serpentine snakehead motifs are disposed around the head in the field, each exhibiting an open mouth and coiled body, serving as the defining decorative element of this type. The overall composition fills the flan with vigorous, deeply struck relief typical of Cantian coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse progressing to the left, depicted in the abstracted Celtic manner with a curved, sinuous body and elongated limbs. A rider is seated upon the horse's back, rendered in summary but recognisable form. The lower field is filled with undulating wave or pellet-and-arc ornaments, likely representing ground or decorative filler elements characteristic of Cantian silver units. Serpentine snakehead motifs are disposed in the surrounding field, mirroring the obverse design and giving this type its distinguishing name. The composition is energetic and fills the irregular flan with bold, deeply cut relief. |
