| Obverse description | Heavily worn and nearly featureless field retaining only faint, vestigial traces of a stylised Apollo-wreath motif, derived ultimately from the laureate head of Apollo on Macedonian prototypes. The design is highly abstracted in the characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic manner, with curvilinear elements barely discernible across the flat, irregular flan. No inscription is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | Disjointed and highly stylised horse depicted facing left, rendered in the fragmented Celtic abstract tradition with the body decomposed into curvilinear and geometric elements. A cluster of pellets appears above the horse, accompanied by the abbreviated inscription AVN above and COST below, the latter partially off-flan on this example. The field is animated with additional pellets and curvilinear decorative devices typical of Corieltauvian coinage of the late first century BC. |
