| Obverse description | Bare head facing right rendered in a schematic Celtic style, with bold relief modelling of facial features. The legend CAMV appears before the face, referencing the mint at Camulodunum. A sceptre or plant symbol is depicted behind the head. The field is plain and the flan is irregular, as typical of struck Celtic bronzes. A beaded border encircles the design. |

| Reverse description | A bull facing right in an aggressive butting posture, with the right foreleg raised and pawing the ground, rendered in a vigorous, stylised Celtic manner. The animal's body is compact and muscular, with clearly articulated haunches and curved horns. A circular pellet or annulet appears above the animal in the field. The overall composition fills the flan with characteristic Late Iron Age British artistic energy. A beaded border frames the design on the irregular flan. |
