| Obverse description | Stylized male head in profile facing right, the hair elaborately rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition and bound with a laurel wreath originating at the forehead and terminating at the nape of the neck. The facial features are treated in a schematized Celtic manner, with the eye rendered as a raised pellet or arc. The field surrounding the effigy is plain, characteristic of Arvernian-influenced Gaulish coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A biga (two-horse chariot) in motion to the right, driven by a stylized charioteer depicted on the near side of the car with limbs rendered in an abstracted, Celtic decorative manner. Beneath the horses appears a triskelion motif, a distinctive apotropaic device commonly found on Aeduan coinage. The horses are rendered with characteristic La Tène dynamism, with elongated bodies and exaggerated musculature, typical of the Gaulish Celtic artistic idiom. |
