| Obverse description | Stylized large human eye rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition, oriented to the left, depicted in a bold, abstract manner characteristic of Gaulish coinage. The eye motif is formed by a pointed almond-shaped outline with a prominent central pupil, flanked by wavy or serrated linear bands that fill the field. Pellets and additional ornamental elements accompany the design in the surrounding field. The overall composition is highly schematic, reflecting the progressive abstraction of earlier Macedonian prototypes by Belgic Celtic die-cutters. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A horse galloping to the left in a highly stylized La Tène manner, its body rendered with fluid, curved lines and disjointed limbs characteristic of Belgic Gaulish coinage. A V-shaped or chevron-like ornament appears above the horse in the upper field. Below the horse, a pellet-in-annulet motif is enclosed within a pelleted circle. Scattered stars or multi-pointed annulets fill the surrounding field, adding to the decorative vocabulary typical of Remi tribal issues. The reverse flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with hammered production techniques of the late Gaulish Iron Age. |
