Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic rendering of a laureate male head, derived from the Macedonian tetradrachm prototype of Philip II. The design is heavily degenerated into a series of horizontal parallel lines representing the hair or wreath, with angular and curvilinear elements suggesting the facial features reduced to abstract geometric forms. A rosette or pellet grouping is visible in the upper field, characteristic of Eastern Celtic die-cutting traditions. The imagery reflects the progressive barbarization of the Hellenistic prototype over successive generations of Celtic coining. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the anonymous coinage of Eastern European Celtic tribes.

Beschrijving keerzijde Stylized Celtic horseman depicted in profile to the right, seated upon a horse with exaggerated saddle-head (Sattelkopf) form, the type's defining characteristic. The rider is rendered in a schematic manner with simplified body and raised arm, while the horse's legs terminate in distinctive pellet or globule clusters at the hooves, a hallmark motif of this Eastern Celtic series. The composition is surrounded by a ring of pellets or globules arranged along the lower field, further emphasizing the abstract decorative vocabulary of the Celtic die-engraver. The figure group occupies the central field against a plain, uninscribed background. No legend is present.
