| Obverse description | Stylized head facing right, the hair rendered in four wavy locks framing the face and terminating in globulated triangular ends; the surrounding field is filled with ruffled or pellet-decorated ornamental elements, characteristic of the schematized Celtic artistic tradition. |

| Reverse description | An eagle attacking a serpent, depicted facing right in dynamic posture; below the eagle appears an alerion (a heraldic eaglet without beak or feet); the composition is flanked on one side by a pentagram and on the other by a ball cross ornamented with globules, all rendered in the abstract Celtic idiom typical of Carnutes coinage. |
