Beschrijving voorzijde Highly schematized and abstracted outline effigy of Apollo facing left, rendered in the distinctive Celtic La Tène artistic idiom derived from ultimately from Massaliote prototypes. The facial features are reduced to a raised circular boss within a plain annular ring, representing the eye, with curved linear elements suggesting the hair and facial contour. The design is enclosed within a plain outer border, and the flat, cast flan exhibits characteristic surface porosity and irregular edges typical of the potin casting technique. No legend or inscription is present.

Beschrijving keerzijde Schematized outline bull advancing to the right, its body rendered in bold relief with a curved dorsal line and a prominent central boss indicating the flank or haunch. The animal stands above a horizontal ground line forming the exergual division, below which two crescent-shaped symbols are disposed in the exergue, a diagnostic feature of this Cantian series. The design is enclosed within a plain raised border, and the overall composition reflects the progressive Celtic stylization of the Massaliote bull prototype. No legend or inscription is present.
