| Obverse description | Stylized head facing right, rendered in a schematic Celtic artistic style with minimal facial detail. The hair is depicted by a series of parallel incuse lines radiating from the crown toward the left field, a characteristic feature of Rutenic coinage. The flan is irregular in shape, with the design occupying the central field. No legend or inscription is present. The overall style reflects the abstract La Tène artistic tradition. |

| Reverse description | A deer leaping to the right, depicted in a lively and stylized Celtic manner with elongated limbs and a compact body. A leaf or foliate element is shown above the animal's back, with additional foliage or vegetal ornament rendered above in the upper field. The composition fills the flan with no exergual line. No legend or inscription accompanies the design. The entire reverse reflects the characteristic decorative vocabulary of southern Gaulish Celtic coinage. |
