Obverse description	Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic head facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène artistic tradition. The facial features are reduced to bold, schematic relief elements, with the hair depicted as a fan of raised ridges or tress-like strands splaying upward and to the right across the convex flan. The treatment reflects the progressive abstraction of the Macedonian prototype, typical of Gaulish coinage of the 2nd century BC. The broad, smooth field surrounding the motif is unlettered.

Reverse description	Charioteer driving to the right, rendered in the highly abstract Celtic idiom characteristic of Gallia Celtica coinage of the 2nd century BC. The horse and charioteer are schematically depicted, with the body, limbs, and head of the charioteer represented by a series of pellets and dots arranged in a loose figurative composition. The horse is shown in motion to the right, its form similarly dissolved into decorative elements derived from the original Macedonian stater prototype. The field is plain and unlettered, the overall design exhibiting the dynamic abstraction typical of the Armorican or central Gaulish minting tradition.
