| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic head facing right, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is arranged in five distinct locks with characteristically curled or voluted ends, fanning outward from the crown. Facial features are summarily depicted, with the eye, nose, and jaw rendered in bold, abstracted relief typical of Aeduan coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no legend or inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | A stylized horse galloping to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic La Tène style with elongated limbs and abstracted anatomy. A lyre motif appears in the lower field beneath the horse, serving as the principal identifying device of this Aeduan type. Above the horse, a spoked wheel with four spokes or a plain annulet is depicted in the upper field. No legend or inscription is present; the flan is irregular and the design elements are distributed across the available surface in the characteristic manner of Gaulish hammered coinage. |
