| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing left, rendered in the late La Tène Celtic artistic tradition. The hair is depicted in bold, sweeping curvilinear strands falling behind the neck, with a prominent eye rendered in high relief. The facial features are abstracted yet expressive, consistent with Arvernian workshop conventions of the mid-1st century BC. The field is plain, and the coin is anepigraphic with no legend present. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse prancing to the left, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner characteristic of Arvernian gold coinage. Above the horse, a prominent S-shaped spiral motif is visible in the upper field, and an amphora symbol appears in the lower field beneath the horse. A leafy branch or torque-like ornament is depicted to the left of the horse. The composition is anepigraphic, with all decorative elements serving as control marks identifying the issuing authority and series. |
