| Obverse description | Stylized bird's head facing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition with bold, rounded relief forms. The head is enclosed within an open wreath composed of curved, leaf-like pellet elements arranged around the periphery of the concave flan. The design is characteristic of the Regenbogenschüsselchen coinage, exhibiting the schematic, highly abstracted Celtic interpretation of classical Greek prototypes. The flan is deeply bowl-shaped, typical of the rainbow cup stater series produced in the Vindelician region of southern Germania. |

| Reverse description | Central four-armed cross with pointed terminals, boldly incuse in the flat field, flanked by two symmetrical volutes or scroll forms curling outward below the cross. Three pellets are arranged above the cross in a triangular grouping, with an additional single pellet visible at the lower periphery of the flan. The composition is geometrically balanced and executed in the minimalist, symbolic idiom characteristic of late Celtic coinage of the Vindelici tribe, with all elements sharply defined against the flat, slightly irregular flan surface. |
