| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing right in the Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with schematic, curvilinear features. The hair is depicted as flowing, deeply incised lines radiating outward from the crown, characteristic of Gaulish coinage. The eye is rendered as a prominent circular pellet, and facial contours are abstracted into bold, sweeping curves. The field is plain and unlettered, consistent with the aniconic aesthetic of Carnutes bronze issues. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing to the left with wings folded, rendered in a bold and stylized Celtic manner with parallel engraved lines delineating the wing feathers. The bird grasps or stands above a cross pattée composed of pellets at the terminals, forming a decorative symbol in the lower field. An additional pellet or annulet appears to the right of the eagle's head. The composition fills the flan without legend or inscription, consistent with the Carnutes bronze series referenced as LT 6108 and DT 2577-2578. |
