Beschrijving voorzijde	Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic derivation of a male head, facing right, rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a fan of bold, pointed strokes radiating above the crown, while the facial features are reduced to a prominent serpentine curve representing the jaw and chin. A diagonal bar element crosses the upper field, accompanied by a cluster of raised pellets to the right, serving as decorative adjuncts typical of this Dacian coinage series. The entire design reflects the progressive barbarization of the Macedonian prototype, with naturalistic forms dissolved into dynamic, abstract linear motifs. No legend or inscription is present.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Schematized horse striding left in the distinctive 'Sattelkopf' (saddle-head) style, with the body reduced to two large globular masses representing the haunches and the head-neck junction, and the legs rendered as thin linear strokes terminating in pellets to indicate hooves. A large rectangular or block-like element occupies the upper left field, interpreted as a highly abstracted rider or saddle motif characteristic of this type. Small pellets are scattered in the upper right field above the horse's back. The composition is anepigraphic, filling the flan with bold, confident Celtic die-cutting showing advanced stylistic abstraction from the original Macedonian tetradrachm prototype.
