Reverse description A highly stylised wild horse rendered in the abstract Celtic tradition gallops to the left across the field, its body reduced to schematic geometric forms with angular, disconnected limbs — characteristic of the 'Wild' type series attributed to Cunobelinus. A cruciform or angled-leg motif appears beneath the horse's body, giving this variety its distinctive typological designation. The legend CVN appears in the lower exergue, abbreviated from Cunobelin, the ruler's name. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised pellets, and scattered pellets punctuate the field as decorative filling elements.
