| Obverse description | Highly stylized, devolved head of Apollo laureate, facing right, rendered in the Celtic abstract idiom. The eye is depicted in the form of an anchor motif, a distinctive iconographic feature of this type. Three crescents appear in the field surrounding the head, reflecting the characteristic Gaulish transformation of Hellenistic prototypes into curvilinear decorative elements. |

| Reverse description | Celticized horse galloping to right, its body reduced to bold, abstracted lines characteristic of Belgic coinage. The rider has been transformed into a stylized fibula-like figure, detached from naturalistic representation. Beneath the horse, a wheel symbol and a small crescent occupy the lower field, serving as secondary decorative or symbolic devices common to Suessionic issues. |
