| Obverse description | Convex globular field of plain, polished gold exhibiting the characteristic mushroom-shaped dome of the Podmokly type, rising prominently from the irregular flan. The surface is entirely devoid of figural or epigraphic design, presenting a smooth, rounded boss that dominates the face. Faint stress lines and natural surface irregularities from the hammering process are visible across the field. The irregular, lobate rim reflects the primitive casting and striking technique typical of Celtic Goldknollen coinage. |

| Reverse description | Concave reverse field displaying a pronounced central depression or bulge that slopes downward from the outer rim toward the interior, consistent with the characteristic morphology of the Podmokly Goldknollen type. Faint but discernible linear striations radiate across the recessed field, likely the result of the hammering or casting process rather than intentional engraving. The surface retains its original golden lustre, with natural tool marks and flow lines visible throughout. No figural motif, legend, or mint mark is present, the design being entirely abstract and utilitarian in character. |
