Beschrijving voorzijde Stylised Celtic imitation of the Thasian Dionysos type: wreathed and ivy-crowned head facing right, rendered in the characteristically abstracted Celtic manner with bold, schematic hair locks arranged in a curvilinear fan above the brow. The facial features are simplified yet expressive, with a prominent ear indicated by a globular pellet. The wreath, composed of berry-clusters and ivy leaves, is rendered in high relief with a decorative, almost geometric treatment typical of Eastern European Celtic die-cutting.

Beschrijving keerzijde Standing figure of Herakles facing left in the Thasian tetradrachm tradition, depicted nude with the lion-skin draped over the left forearm and a club held in the right hand. The image is rendered in a highly stylised Celtic idiom, with the body reduced to bold globular forms. Flanking the figure are two vertical rows of pellets replacing the original Greek inscription, reflecting the Celtic engravers' abstraction of the prototype legend into purely decorative dot-clusters. A circular symbol or wheel motif appears to the right of the figure, and a ground-line is visible beneath the feet.
