| Obverse description | A geometric design composed of two nested squares with deeply concave sides, creating a bold lozenge or star-like form within the field. The innermost element features a small central pellet or ring boss at the heart of the design. The concave sides of the squares produce four pronounced curved triangular segments radiating outward toward the coin's edge, lending the composition a dynamic, almost pinwheel character typical of late Celtic abstract art. |

| Reverse description | An eagle depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the stylised, schematic manner characteristic of late Iron Age Celtic coinage. The bird's plumage is indicated by a series of bold parallel striae sweeping across the body. A partial Latin inscription appears to the right of the eagle in the field, reading RVII or TAS, attributed to the Catuvellauni or Trinovantes tribal authority. |
