| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude abstract design occupying the central field, featuring a central concentric spiral or ring motif surrounded by irregular curvilinear elements typical of Late Iron Age Celtic die-cutting. The composition is rendered in a highly stylised manner characteristic of the Trinovantian P series, with raised bosses and geometric patterning distributed across the flan. The surface exhibits an uneven, hand-struck texture consistent with hammered coinage of the period. No legible inscription is present on this face. The flan is irregular and shows areas of green patination interspersed with a dark brown bronze surface. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse depicted in profile, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with curvilinear body forms and exaggerated limbs. The animal is shown in motion, with decorative scroll and pellet motifs filling the field around it, a hallmark of late British Iron Age coinage design. Above and below the horse, sinuous lines and crescent-shaped elements contribute to the characteristic abstract composition of the Cantii series. A partial inscription, tentatively read as SEGO, is associated with this type, possibly referencing the issuing authority or a place name, though the legend may be only partially visible or partially legible on individual specimens. The flan is irregular with a rough hammered edge and areas of green cuprite patination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The attribution here is genuinely contested. What ABC and Van Arsdell classify under Cantii influence, some specialists argue belongs within a Trinovantian production tradition — the "P" series designation itself reflects that unresolved overlap in tribal coinage along the Thames estuary frontier. Sego remains an unidentified name, possibly a mint-master or a subordinate ruler, and appears on only a handful of related types. No corroborating epigraphic or historical record ties the name to any known figure.
