Obverse description A ring-shaped, serpentine creature rendered in stylized Celtic fashion, its body curving in a near-complete circle with a prominently bristled dorsal spine; a ram's horn motif extends to the left, characteristic of the Regenbogenschüsselchen tradition. The design is executed in high relief within the concave bowl of the planchet, with the creature's form occupying the central field. The abstract, zoomorphic imagery reflects the La Tène artistic idiom prevalent among the Vindelici. No legend or inscription is present.

Reverse description Three ornamental devices arranged in a lyre-shaped or triskeles-like composition, each surrounded by radiating elements and centered upon a single pellet in the field. Above each of the three ornaments, a cluster of three pellets is positioned symmetrically, imparting a structured, tripartite layout typical of Celtic coinage. The entire design is rendered in relief within the characteristic concave dish form of the Regenbogenschüsselchen type. No inscription or legend is present. The execution reflects the geometric, abstract decorative style of the Vindelici tribe.
