| Obverse description | Celticized male head facing left, rendered in the stylized Patraos tradition, with boldly articulated hair depicted as a series of raised parallel ridges and leaf-like striations swept back from the brow. The facial features are rendered in a schematic Celtic manner, with a prominent eye, rounded cheek, and small mouth. A beaded border frames the design around the coin's periphery. The overall style reflects a progressive Celtic abstraction of the original Macedonian prototype. |

| Reverse description | Horseman galloping to the left in a dynamic, abstracted Celtic rendering derived from the Macedonian Patraos prototype. The rider and mount are depicted in a vigorous, stylized manner characteristic of Paleo-Balkan Celtic coinage, with the horse's legs shown in full extension. Below the horse, a highly schematized figure or trophy is visible, representing a further abstraction of the original Macedonian reverse composition. The field surrounding the horse contains abstract decorative elements typical of Celtic die-cutting. The overall treatment displays the energetic, semi-abstract artistic style associated with the Agrianean Celtic coinage tradition. |
