| Obverse description | Blank and uninscribed field, entirely devoid of design elements, characteristic of the Cantii quarter stater series in which the obverse serves as a plain die face. The surface bears the natural texture and irregular flan edges typical of hand-struck Celtic coinage of the late Iron Age. |

| Reverse description | A stylised Celtic horse prancing left occupies the central field, rendered in the distinctive abstract tradition of late Iron Age British coinage. Above the horse, a curved yoke motif arches prominently across the upper field. In the lower field, a sunflower or rosette motif with radiating petals is depicted, flanked by additional pellets and decorative elements. The overall composition reflects the fluid, curvilinear artistic vocabulary of Cantian Celtic die engravers. |
