| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing right in the Celtic tradition, rendered with characteristic La Tène artistic conventions. The hair is arranged in three distinct rolls and subdivided into sweeping S-shaped locks, conveying a sense of organic movement. The facial features are rendered with relative naturalism, including a well-defined, prominent nose and a distinctive almond-shaped eye. The overall treatment reflects the transitional Armorican Celtic style, blending Mediterranean influences with indigenous decorative sensibility. |

| Reverse description | A highly stylized horse galloping to the right, its head rendered in an aviform or bird-like form characteristic of Coriosolitan coinage. Vestiges of the charioteer's head appear above the horse, reduced to an abstract decorative element. Between the horse's legs, a small boar faces right, serving as a subsidiary symbol frequently associated with Armorican Celtic iconography. The overall composition reflects advanced La Tène abstraction, with organic curvilinear forms replacing naturalistic anatomical detail. |
