Obverse description Highly stylized, abstracted head of Apollo in the Late Celtic manner, the facial features entirely dissolved into a series of rough diagonal striations and curvilinear lines dispersed across the flat field. No discernible facial relief remains; the original Hellenistic prototype has been reduced to a pattern of incised lines characteristic of Gallo-Belgic coinage of this period. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or inscription.

Reverse description A stylized horse galloping left in the characteristic Gallo-Belgic abstract tradition, its body rendered with schematic linear forms. A charioteer figure or driver is represented above the horse, holding a goad or whip. A lyre motif appears beneath the horse in the lower field, serving as a decorative subsidiary symbol. No inscription or legend is present; the design reflects the progressive abstraction of the Philip II stater prototype common to Belgic Celtic coinage.
