| Obverse description | Stylized male head shown in right profile, rendered in the characteristic abstracted La Tène artistic idiom. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, deeply struck lenticular curls or pellets arranged in an elaborate coiffure radiating around the cranium. Facial features are schematically rendered, with a prominent rounded cheek, a pronounced hooked nose, and a small pellet eye visible in right profile. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of Gaulish hammered electrum coinage of the late second to early first century BC. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstracted geometric manner characteristic of Armorican and western Gaulish coinage. A charioteer or rider figure with a rounded head and schematic torso appears above the horse's back. A distinctive wheel or solar disc motif is visible in the lower left field. Additional abstract ornamental elements, including curved lines and pellets, occupy the upper field above the horse. The composition fills the irregular flan, displaying the lively, energetic style typical of the Andecavi stater series. |
