| Obverse description | Highly stylized, schematically rendered head facing left, depicted in the La Tène artistic tradition with strongly abstracted facial features. The neck is elongated and distinctly pronounced, a hallmark diagnostic of this coin type. A prominent Y-shaped oblique slash mark is incised across the field, likely a symbolic or tribal device. The overall design is executed in a bold, linear Celtic idiom with minimal naturalistic detail. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Stylized quadruped, rendered in a schematic Celtic manner, charging to the left with legs extended in a running posture. The elongated neck of the animal is clearly articulated, consistent with the typological designation of this series. A plain ground line runs horizontally beneath the animal, defining the lower register of the design. The musculature and body are reduced to bold, abstracted forms characteristic of Late Iron Age Gaulish coinage. No inscription or legend is present. |
