Obverse description Celticized male head facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène artistic style. The hair is depicted in flowing, stylized strands radiating backward from the crown, with individual locks indicated by incised lines. Three pellets appear before the face, a common decorative motif in Celtic coinage derived from degraded classical prototypes. The facial features are schematically abstracted, with a prominent eye and simplified profile typical of Boian Celtic workmanship.

Reverse description Celticized standing figure depicted facing right in a dynamic pose, derived from a degraded Philip II stater prototype, likely representing a striding deity or warrior. The anatomy is rendered in schematic, abstracted Celtic style with exaggerated limbs. Blundered and largely illegible pseudo-legend surrounds the figure in the field, composed of degenerated letter forms that no longer retain coherent meaning. Additional symbolic elements, possibly a wheel or branch motif, appear in the right field, consistent with Boian Celtic iconographic conventions.
