| Obverse description | Central tablet or cartouche with a pellet border enclosing the inscription TINC in bold Roman capitals. A crescent or lunate symbol appears above the tablet in the upper field, and the letter A is positioned below in the lower field. The overall design is geometric and formulaic, characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage produced under Roman cultural influence. The tablet motif reflects the increasing adoption of Roman epigraphic conventions by the Atrebatic ruler Tincomarus. |

| Reverse description | A facing head rendered in a stylised Celtic interpretation of the classical Medusa or Gorgon type, with large frontal eyes, a broad nose, and a wide mouth. The hair radiates outward from the face in sinuous, wing-like locks that curl and intertwine across the field, evoking both serpentine Gorgoneion imagery and Celtic artistic conventions. The face is boldly modelled with strong relief, displaying the blend of Mediterranean iconographic influence and insular craftsmanship typical of late pre-Roman British coinage. The design fills the flan to its edges, with the facial features centred and the surrounding hair forming a dynamic, decorative border. |
