| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing left, laureate and wearing a pearl diadem rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract manner; the hair is depicted in flowing, schematized locks. A pellet-in-annulet device appears at the neck truncation, a hallmark detail of the East Noric Brezelohr series. The portrait retains the broad, rounded facial features typical of the Norican Celtic die-cutting tradition, diverging markedly from its Macedonian prototype. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing vigorously to the left, rendered in the bold, highly stylized Celtic artistic idiom with exaggerated musculature and elongated limbs. The flowing mane and tail are depicted with deeply cut, curvilinear lines, characteristic of East Noric die engraving. The foreleg is raised in a prancing posture, and the field around the horse is largely plain. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction of the Macedonian tetradrachm prototype typical of the Brezelohr A series. |
