| Obverse description | Celticised laureate and bearded male head facing right, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Zeus as seen on Philip II and Alexander III coinage. The hair is rendered in bold, stylised locks with deeply incised waves, the laurel wreath schematically abstracted in typical Celtic fashion. The beard is depicted in broad, curved striations, and the facial features — including the prominent brow, eye, and nose — are boldly modelled in a robust, semi-barbarous style. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Rider on horseback advancing to right, rendered in a stylised Celtic interpretation of the Macedonian horseman prototype. The Roman numeral II appears above the horse, and the letter V is placed before the rider in the field. A pellet-in-square symbol is positioned beneath the horse. The horse and rider are depicted with schematic, abstracted musculature characteristic of Eastern European Celtic coinage, with the composition set within an irregularly shaped flan typical of the hammered technique. |
