| Obverse description | Plain, deeply concave and essentially blank obverse die, characteristic of the Hrabusice type Celtic drachm, presenting a smooth, slightly convex bowl-shaped surface with no intentional design elements. The field bears only natural die wear and surface patination consistent with ancient Celtic hammered coinage. This uninscribed, featureless obverse is a defining typological feature of this regional issue. |

| Reverse description | Stylized Celtic horseman depicted in profile facing left, rendered in the highly abstracted La Tène artistic tradition. The rider, shown with a pronounced globular head and schematic body, sits astride a rearing horse whose muscular form is conveyed through bold, simplified curves. The field is decorated with geometric ornamental elements including pellets, annulets, and linear motifs; a row of pellets runs horizontally beneath the horse, with additional annulets and striated lines occupying the upper field. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the anonymous issues of the Cotini tribal coinage. |
