Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic rendering of a laureate male head, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Philip II or Alexander III tetradrachms. The facial features are reduced to schematic curved lines representing the eye sockets and brow ridge, with a prominent nose rendered as a broad relief arc. A group of four pellets arranged vertically to the right of the face serves as a decorative fill element. The hair is suggested by radiating incised lines in the upper field, and the overall composition exhibits the characteristic La Tène artistic tendency toward geometric abstraction of the human form. No legend or inscription is present.

Beschrijving keerzijde Schematized Celtic horse progressing to the left in the so-called Sattelkopf (saddle-head) style, characterized by the highly abstracted rendering of the animal's body into geometric components. The horse's arched neck and rounded haunches are depicted as bold relief curves, while the legs are reduced to elongated rod-like elements terminating in pellets. Below the horse, a triangular arrangement of pellet-and-line elements likely represents the forelegs or stylized ground ornament. Additional pellets are scattered in the lower field. The composition reflects the advanced stage of Celtic artistic abstraction from the Philip II or Alexander III prototype, with no surviving figural rider or legend.
