Obverse description	Abstract geometric design in the late Celtic tradition, featuring a prominent diagonal spike or large Y-form dividing the field. Groups of three pellets are arranged to either side of the spike. Two crescent forms appear in the lower portion of the flan, characteristic of Durotrigan abstract imagery derived from earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes.

Reverse description	Abstract Celtic design featuring a central wreath-like or tree-form object with branching elements rising vertically through the field, flanked by multiple crescent motifs arranged around the periphery. A scattered arrangement of pellets occupies the remaining field areas. The overall composition is typical of the highly abstracted Durotrigan artistic style, with all elements rendered in a loose, stylised manner consistent with cast production.
