| Obverse description | Plain, undecorated iron billet of elongated sword-bar form, exhibiting a porous, partially-forged surface texture consistent with early Iron Age smithing techniques. One terminal is drawn to a tapered point, which may occasionally be bent over. No inscriptions, symbols, or decorative elements appear in the field. |

| Reverse description | Reverse face mirrors the obverse in presenting a plain, undecorated, porous surface resulting from partial forging. The elongated billet retains the same sword-bar profile, with one end drawn to a point and sometimes recurved. The surface shows no intentional design, lettering, or ornamentation, consistent with pre-monetary currency bar usage. |
