| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic male head facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène artistic tradition derived from the Macedonian prototype. The hair is elaborately depicted as a double row of large beaded pellets arranged in a distinctive pretzel-like arc (Brezelohr) across the crown of the head, interspersed with lentoid bosses. The facial features are schematically rendered, with a prominent circular ear, a well-defined nose, and a simplified eye. Isolated pellets and crescentic ornaments occupy the surrounding field. |

| Reverse description | A stylized Celtic horse prancing left in the characteristic Eastern Norican manner, rendered with schematic musculature and segmented legs terminating in pellets. Above the horse's back appears a prominent geometric symbol resembling a comb or rake motif. A rider or jockey figure is suggested above the horse, holding a reined bar. The tail of the horse is rendered as a series of curved lines, and additional pellet ornaments are scattered in the field, consistent with the Norican Celtic coinage tradition. |
