| Obverse description | A schematized human figure rendered in Celtic artistic style, depicted in full stride moving to the left, with a prominent ringlet or annulet detail visible on the body. The field is dominated by a large stylized star motif, characteristic of Gallo-Belgic coinage, occupying much of the available flan. The die work is executed in the abstract, geometric manner typical of late Iron Age Celtic bronze coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly compact, consistent with cast production methods of the period. |

| Reverse description | A free horse depicted in vigorous gallop to the right, rendered in the highly stylized, abstracted manner characteristic of Gallo-Belgic Celtic coinage. Two multi-pointed star symbols are positioned above and below the horse, framing the central equine motif within the field. The horse's body is schematically treated with curvilinear lines suggesting musculature and movement, while the legs are elongated and simplified. The die style and iconographic program are consistent with the anonymous bronze coinage attributed to the tribes of Gallia Belgica. The flan shows typical irregular casting edges and surface patination consistent with extended burial. |
