Obverse description	Stylized head facing left in the Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with schematic linear features characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. The inscription ANDOCO appears in the field before the face, identifying the issuing ruler. The portrait exhibits the decorative, abstracted treatment typical of Catuvellaunian bronzes, with hair suggested by radiating or striated lines visible in the upper field.

Reverse description	A horse depicted grazing to the right in a naturalistic yet stylized Celtic manner, its head lowered toward the ground in the characteristic feeding posture that gives this type its name. A thick crescent symbol is placed above the animal, a common decorative motif on Catuvellaunian issues. The letter A appears on or near the exergual line beneath the horse, serving as a secondary identifying mark. The overall composition is compact and well-centred within the flan, consistent with the ABC 2736 type.
