Obverse description Plain field bearing a two-line inscription within a beaded border, the legend reading EPPIL above and COMF below in bold, deeply struck Latin characters. The lettering is rendered in a robust, slightly irregular Celtic hand characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. No additional design elements or symbols appear in the field. The beaded border encircles the entire face, serving as the primary decorative framing device.
Obverse script Latin

Reverse description A stylised winged horse (Pegasus) depicted in right profile, rendered in the abstracted Celtic artistic tradition with exaggerated curvilinear forms. The body and wings are indicated by bold, flowing lines typical of Late Iron Age British goldsmithing, with pellets scattered across the field serving as decorative fill elements. A beaded border is present to the right of the design. The composition reflects the progressive stylistic debasement of classical Macedonian stater prototypes as adapted by British Celtic die-cutters.
