| Obverse description | Stylized human head facing right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, with the hair arranged in large, sweeping locks. A boar ensign — a distinctive tribal symbol — is depicted within the hair, accompanied by a beaded cord or torque-like element woven through the coiffure. The overall treatment is characteristic of late Gaulish coinage, combining naturalistic portraiture with symbolic ornamental devices. |

| Reverse description | An androcephalous horse — a horse bearing a human head — galloping vigorously to the right, rendered in the dynamic, abstracted style typical of Armorican Celtic coinage. A boar, serving as a tribal emblem of the Bodiocasses, is positioned to the right of the composition and also appears beneath the horse, between its legs. The field is otherwise plain, with the design elements arranged in the energetic, flowing manner characteristic of Gaulish equestrian staters of this period. |
