| Obverse description | Stylized male head facing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition with schematic facial features and flowing, striated hair depicted as parallel incised lines extending to the right. A dotted border encircles the periphery of the flan. The legend PIXTIL appears in the field to the left of the portrait, inscribed in Latin characters. The overall style is characteristic of late Gaulish coinage of the Carnutes tribe, blending Hellenistic portraiture conventions with indigenous Celtic stylization. |

| Reverse description | A wolf or canid depicted in a dynamic, rearing posture facing right, rendered in the characteristic schematic Celtic style with exaggerated musculature and elongated limbs. A lizard or small reptile is shown beneath or alongside the wolf, serving as a secondary device in the lower field. The composition is set within a dotted or beaded border and surrounded by decorative pellets and abstract vegetal or geometric ornaments filling the field. The imagery reflects the symbolic animal vocabulary common to late Iron Age Carnutes coinage, with no legible inscription on the reverse. |
