| Obverse description | Celticised laureate and bearded head of Zeus facing right, rendered in bold, schematic Celtic style with heavily stylised laurel wreath composed of large, rounded leaves. The neck is distinctively triangular in form — characteristic of the Dreieckhals type — with a beaded torque visible behind the head. The facial features are abstracted, with a prominent curl representing the beard at the chin and a pellet-chain border encircling the flan. |

| Reverse description | Horseman advancing to left, depicted in highly schematised Celtic manner, holding a torque in the raised right hand while the left hand rests on the horse's back. A pellet-in-annulet symbol appears in the field behind the rider, and two opposed semicircular forms are placed on the groundline beneath the horse, serving as stylised ground ornaments. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction characteristic of Dacian imitative coinage derived from Macedonian prototypes. |
