| Obverse description | Bare, beardless head facing left, rendered in a schematic Celtic artistic style with simplified facial features. The abbreviated legend CVNO appears before the face, referencing the issuing ruler Cunobelin. The flan is irregular and cast, with a characteristically uneven fabric typical of late pre-Roman British bronze coinage. The relief is low and the surfaces show ancient patination consistent with a cast bronze production technique. |

| Reverse description | A boar strides to the left, depicted in the schematic Celtic tradition with a prominent dorsal bristle ridge and characteristically stylised limbs. A branch or plant spray occupies the field above the animal. In the lower field, a pellet-in-ring ornament is flanked by a star or pellet grouping to each side, serving as decorative field elements typical of Catuvellaunian bronze issues. The overall composition is bold and compact within the small, irregularly shaped flan. |
