| Beschrijving voorzijde | Celticised bearded male head facing right, derived from the Macedonian prototype of Zeus but rendered in abstract La Tène style; the head is adorned with two curving horn-like projections reminiscent of the horns of Ammon, a distinctive Celtic reinterpretation of the classical divine attribute. The neck truncation is stylised and terminates in decorative volutes, while the surrounding dotted border is integrated into the overall ornamental composition. The facial features — eye, brow, and beard — are rendered with characteristic Celtic formalism, emphasising pattern over naturalism. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised equestrian figure moving to left, the rider depicted wearing a crested helmet with the right arm extended outward in a gesture typical of the Zweigarm (two-arm) type series. The horse is rendered in the abstracted Celtic manner, with exaggerated anatomical forms reflecting La Tène artistic conventions. In the field before the horse, a spoked wheel motif and scattered pellets serve as decorative or symbolic elements, both commonly encountered in Celtic coinage of the Eastern European tradition. The overall composition derives ultimately from the reverse of Macedonian tetradrachms of Philip II, transformed through successive Celtic die-cutting into a largely non-representational design. |
