Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylised and abstracted Celtic interpretation of the head of Dionysos facing right, derived from the Thasian tetradrachm prototype. The wreath of ivy leaves is rendered as a bold, schematic crown of pellet-tipped projections above the brow. The hair is depicted as deeply incised parallel strokes radiating from the crown, while the facial features are reduced to geometric forms, retaining the broad outline of the prototype but executed in a distinctly Celtic aesthetic. The flan is irregular and the relief is vigorous, characteristic of Celtic hand-struck coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde Stylised standing figure of Herakles to the left, derived from the reverse type of the Thasian tetradrachm, here reduced to a highly abstracted composition of linear and pellet elements. The club, lion's skin, and the original Greek inscription ΗΡΑΚΛΕΟΥΣ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΘΑΣΙΩΝ are all but unrecognisable, degenerated into a series of pellets, lines, and geometric shapes scattered across the field. The figure retains a vague anthropomorphic outline but reflects advanced Celtic stylisation far removed from the Hellenistic original. The irregular flan and bold striking are consistent with eastern Celtic workshop production.
