| Obverse description | Highly stylised Celtic abstract design composed of dynamic curvilinear scroll motifs radiating throughout the field, characteristic of Late Iron Age British Celtic artistic tradition. At the centre, a prominent cogwheel or rayed sun symbol with a raised central boss is depicted, its serrated outer ring clearly defined. Surrounding the central solar device, bold interlocking C-shaped and S-shaped scroll flourishes fill the field in an organised yet fluid composition. A secondary circular motif, possibly a pellet-in-ring element, is visible in the upper field. The design is entirely anepigraphic, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse advances to the left in the characteristic disjointed Celtic artistic manner, its body rendered with a large globular torso, schematic legs, and an elaborately rendered tail curving upward. Above the horse's back, a prominent spoked wheel symbol with a central pellet-in-ring boss is depicted, enclosed within a circular border, serving as a solar or celestial emblem. Below the horse, a floral sun motif with radiating petals and a central ring-and-pellet device occupies the lower field, accompanied by scattered pellets and leaf-like elements. Additional curvilinear ornaments and pellets fill the remaining field. The design is entirely anepigraphic. |
