| Obverse description | Celticised male head facing left, rendered in the distinctive La Tène artistic tradition. The effigy is adorned with a prominent three-strand pearl diadem composed of large raised globules arching across the forehead, a hallmark of the Augen-Stamm (eye-tribe) type. The hair is depicted as a mass of stylised leaf-shaped strands sweeping across the crown of the head. The facial features are boldly modelled, with a large almond-shaped eye rendered in high relief, a prominent nose, and a schematised beard or chin below. The field is plain and uninscribed. |

| Reverse description | A stylised Celtic horse prancing to the left, rendered in the characteristic abstract La Tène manner typical of East Noric coinage. The body of the horse is compact and powerfully modelled, with the legs depicted as elongated curved lines terminating in pellet-like hooves. A prominent circular eye is rendered as a large raised pellet on the head, characteristic of the Augen-Stamm type. Three pellets or globules appear beneath the horse's neck or chest area, a recurrent secondary motif on this series. The tail is shown as a sweeping curved line, and the field is plain and uninscribed. |
