| Obverse description | Plain, anepigraphic obverse featuring a large, prominent convex boss rising boldly from a flat, recessed field, characteristic of the Celtic Muschel (shell) type. The boss is smooth and hemispherical, occupying the majority of the flan, surrounded by a shallow concave border. The irregular flan edge exhibits the typical characteristics of hand-struck Celtic coinage. No inscriptions or subsidiary devices are present. |

| Reverse description | Anepigraphic reverse displaying an abstracted, highly stylized design in low to medium relief, consistent with the Celtic Muschel type tradition. A schematic, curvilinear motif occupying the central field is interpreted as a highly abstracted horse or zoomorphic figure, rendered with bold, flowing lines and limb-like projections radiating toward the irregular flan edge. The surrounding field is recessed and textured, with short linear strokes extending toward the periphery. The design reflects the characteristic late La Tène Celtic artistic style of geometric abstraction. |
