Obverse description Plain, highly convex globular surface enclosed within a broad, prominent raised rim of irregular outline, characteristic of the Gaulish 'bullet' or globe coinage. The obverse presents a smooth, undecorated dome rising steeply from the surrounding flat collar, the entire surface devoid of figurative or epigraphic ornament. The casting technique imparts a slightly irregular, organic contour to the rim, reflecting the distinctive manufacturing tradition of the Senones tribe.

Reverse description A broad cross motif with trefoil-terminated arms radiates from the centre of a plain globule, the design set within a prominent raised rim. The cross divides the concave field into four equal quadrants, each terminating in a stylised trefoil finial rendered in low relief. The overall composition is stark and geometric, with no inscription or additional decorative elements, consistent with the abstract Late La Tène artistic tradition of the Senones coinage.
