Reverse description Stylised Celtic horse prancing to the left, depicted in the abstract, fragmented manner characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage. The horse's body is rendered with curvilinear limbs and a segmented torso, surrounded by a field filled with pellets, annulets, and concentric ring ornaments. Above the horse, a schematic human head or rider element is discernible, rendered in typical Dobunnic artistic convention. The overall design is derived from distorted Macedonian stater prototypes, transformed into a distinctly native decorative composition. No legend or inscription appears on the reverse.
