| Obverse description | Highly abstracted Celtic rendering of the head of Apollo facing right, derived ultimately from Macedonian prototype coinage. A thin hairbar (spike) bisects the design horizontally, terminating at its right end in a small annulet; leaf-like hair elements above the bar point inward with their tips directed downward, while those below point upward, creating a distinctive mirrored arrangement. Standing hair curls project behind the wreath in characteristic Celtic La Tène artistic style. Linear crescents appear in the lower right area of the field, with a spoked wheel motif positioned above them. |

| Reverse description | A stylised triple-tailed horse prances to the left, rendered in the abstract curvilinear manner characteristic of British Celtic coinage; the neck is bifurcated and the mane is indicated by pelleted or pellet-and-arc motifs. A prominent sunburst or rayed star device occupies the upper field above the horse. Beneath the horse, a distinctive toothed cog or wheel motif — the type's defining feature — fills the lower field, accompanied by scattered pellets and annulets in the surrounding field. |
