| Obverse description | A wolf depicted in right profile, jaws agape and clawed feet rendered in schematic Celtic style. The body is rendered in the stylised tradition characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. A ringed pellet motif appears below the figure, accompanied by beaded lines that fill the lower field. The overall composition reflects the abstract yet dynamic artistic vocabulary of the Atrebates tribal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A beaded or pellet-formed human head faces right, surmounted by a stylised cock rendered in the schematic Celtic manner. Ringed pellet ornaments and beaded lines occupy the field in front of the head, serving as decorative fill elements typical of southern British Iron Age bronze coinage. The design combines zoomorphic and anthropomorphic imagery in a composition consistent with the Chichester-type issues of the Atrebates and Regini. The execution reflects the abstract, highly stylised engraving tradition of pre-Roman Celtic Britain. |
