| Obverse description | Four horse heads arranged in a cruciform pattern around a central annulet, forming a pinwheel composition characteristic of late Gaulish coinage. The quarters of the field are decorated with pellets, annulets, and pointed annulets serving as ornamental fill. The design is rendered in a schematic, abstract style typical of the Belgic coinage tradition. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse striding to the left, its body rendered abstractly as two conjoined ringlets, reflecting the highly schematic artistic conventions of late La Tène Belgic coinage. A single ringlet appears behind the mane on the dorsal line. The legend AVAVCIA appears above the horse in the upper field. |
