Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylized Celtic male head facing right, rendered in the characteristic La Tène abstract idiom derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes. The facial features are dissolved into a series of curved pellet-and-lentoid elements, with the large almond-shaped eye prominently rendered in relief. The hair is depicted as a mass of swirling comma-shaped locks and relief pellets radiating around the crown, and the neck and jaw area dissolve into abstract linear motifs. The field is plain, and no legend or inscription is present, consistent with the anonymous output of Eastern Celtic moneyers.

Beschrijving keerzijde A nude or lightly draped male rider, the so-called 'Monsichelreiter' (crescent rider), seated astride a horse prancing to the right, his body shown frontally and his head turned in profile with flowing hair. He holds a large open crescent or torc-like object above his head with his raised right arm, a distinctive identifying feature of this coin type. The horse is rendered with a beaded or pellet-decorated mane along the neck, a naturalistic body, and raised forelegs in a prancing gait. Beneath the horse's belly appears a wheel or ringlet symbol, a common Celtic secondary device. The border consists of a fine beaded or dotted rim; no legend or inscription is present.
