| Obverse description | Highly stylized Celtic head facing right, rendered in the characteristic curvilinear La Tène artistic tradition, with prominent bulging eye and schematized facial features dissolving into abstract forms. The hair is depicted as a series of coiled and ridged elements atop the crown. Flanking the head are sinuous human-headed serpents whose bodies intertwine around the effigy. A boar, depicted in profile to the right, appears above the head as an ancillary symbol within the field. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | A human-headed horse galloping vigorously to the left, executed in the abstracted curvilinear style typical of Armorican Celtic coinage. Above the horse, a distinctive curved ornamental device terminates in two detached human heads, a recurring iconographic element of the Osismii series. Beneath the horse, a boar is depicted in profile to the right, serving as a ground-line symbol. The field is otherwise uninscribed, and no legend accompanies the design. |
