| Obverse description | Bearded male head facing left, rendered in the classical style of Jupiter Ammon, displaying prominent curling hair and beard with a characteristic ram's horn curl visible before the ear. The portrait is boldly struck in relief with naturalistic facial features typical of late Cunobelinian coinage. The legend CVNO appears before the portrait in the left field, and BELIN is inscribed behind in the right field, together forming the royal name CVNOBELIN. The design reflects a deliberate classical Roman influence adopted by the Catuvellaunian ruler. |

| Reverse description | A mounted warrior advancing to the right above an exergual line, depicted with a sword raised in the right hand and a shield held in the left. The horse is shown in energetic motion with legs extended, and a small pellet appears beneath the horse's body in the field. The abbreviated mint signature CAM is inscribed along the exergual line below the horse, referencing Camulodunum. The composition reflects strong Roman artistic influence in the rendering of the equestrian figure, a hallmark of Cunobelinian bronze coinage. |
