| Obverse description | Celticized bare head facing right, rendered in a stylized late Iron Age manner with schematic facial features and flowing hair indicated by incised lines. The effigy displays characteristic Celtic artistic conventions with abstract detailing around the neck and jaw. The legend TASC ANDO is distributed around the periphery of the flan, reading partially to either side of the portrait. The overall design reflects Roman numismatic influence interpreted through native Celtic craftsmanship. |

| Reverse description | A Capricorn-Pegasus hybrid creature depicted in a prancing or leaping pose facing right, combining the body of a horse with aquatic or draconic attributes characteristic of late Celtic coinage. The reverse field is populated with pellets and abstract decorative elements typical of Catuvellaunian bronze issues. A double pellet ring border frames the entire design, forming a decorative boundary around the flan edge. The rendering is vigorous and stylized, consistent with the native British coinage tradition of the late 1st century BC. |
