| Obverse description | Winged head facing left, depicted in the Celtic artistic tradition with stylised curling hair, the wings rendered as sweeping curved forms emanating from the crown. The legend CVNO appears in the left field and BELIN in the right field, divided by the effigy. The flan is irregular in form, consistent with hand-struck late Iron Age British coinage, with a flat, worn field surrounding the central device. |

| Reverse description | A metalworker seated to the right, depicted in profile, engaged in hammering a vase or vessel set before him; his hair is gathered in a bun at the rear of the head and he wears a broad-brimmed hat. The legend TASCIO appears in the field behind the figure, identifying him as son of Tasciovanos. The type is enclosed within a pellet border, a characteristic decorative feature of Catuvellaunian bronze coinage of this period. |
