| Obverse description | Celticized laureate head facing left, derived from a Macedonian or Hellenistic prototype, rendered in the characteristic La Tène abstract style with deeply stylized facial features, flowing hair depicted as bold relief ridges radiating to the right, and a prominent brow and open mouth. The neck is indicated by a curved relief line, and the overall treatment reflects the progressive Celtic abstraction of the original Greek effigy. A dotted border runs along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A mounted horseman galloping to the right, brandishing a spear in his raised right hand in the characteristic Celtic warrior pose. Three pellet-in-annulet symbols are dispersed across the field as decorative or symbolic devices. The horse is rendered in a stylized La Tène manner with abstracted legs and body. The inscription ATTA appears in the field, identifying this emission within the broader Norican tribal coinage sequence. |
