| Obverse description | Highly stylized and abstracted effigy of Apollo facing right, rendered in the distinctive Celtic artistic tradition of Gallia Belgica. The hair is depicted as a series of bold, curvilinear pellets and comma-shaped locks radiating from the crown, while the facial features are reduced to schematic relief elements typical of late La Tène coinage. The design is confined within an irregularly shaped flan, with the deeply convex fabric characteristic of Belgic gold staters. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Disjointed Celtic horse prancing to the right, executed in the highly fragmented and abstract style characteristic of Belgic coinage derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes. The horse's body is dissolved into discrete curvilinear elements, with detached limbs, crescentic forms, and pellets distributed across the field. A wheel or solar symbol and scattered pellets accompany the horse, filling the field in the manner typical of this series. No charioteer, legend, or exergual inscription is present. |
