| Obverse description | Crude abstract design executed in the La Tène Celtic artistic tradition, featuring a heavily stylised motif rendered in low relief across a flat, unbordered field. The design elements, though now largely obscured by a thick encrustation of green patina and surface corrosion, suggest a schematised head or abstract anthropomorphic device typical of late Iron Age Cantian coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck Celtic bronze units of this period. No legend or inscription is present, as is characteristic of this uninscribed issue. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse or equine figure rendered in the schematic Celtic manner occupies the central field, depicted in profile moving to the right, with abstracted limbs and body consistent with late Iron Age artistic conventions of the Cantii tribe. Ancillary symbols or pellet devices may be present in the field surrounding the principal motif, though surface patination and corrosion obscure precise detail. The flan is irregular in outline with a flat to slightly concave surface, typical of hand-struck bronze units of this series. No legend or inscription accompanies the design, in keeping with the uninscribed character of this coinage type. |
