| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing right, rendered in the Celtic La Tène artistic tradition with pronounced plastic treatment. The hair is depicted as a mass of large embossed pellets and curvilinear strands, filling the upper field in a bold, decorative arrangement. The facial features are schematically rendered with a prominent nose and strongly defined jaw, typical of late Celtic coinage from the Norican region. A dotted border runs along the coin's periphery, framing the design. |

| Reverse description | A horseman galloping to the right, depicted in schematic Celtic style, brandishing a spear in the raised right hand. Below the horse, a trident symbol appears alongside the Celtic inscription ATTA, identifying this issue as the so-called Atta type of West Norican coinage. The composition fills the flan with characteristically abstract, energetic Celtic draftsmanship. A dotted border frames the reverse design. |
