| Obverse description | Highly stylised and abstracted design derived from a classical prototype, struck on an irregular flan. The central field displays a schematic representation of a boat or vessel motif rendered in bold, angular relief lines forming a cruciform or mast-like structure. A cluster of raised pellets occupies the left field, while additional pellet ornaments are scattered across the lower field. A row of triangular or tooth-like projections runs along the lower register, characteristic of the Durotrigan 'boat' type. The design is entirely anepigraphic, reflecting the late abstract coinage tradition of the Durotriges. |

| Reverse description | Anepigraphic reverse struck on an irregular, slightly convex flan. The design features a bold, deeply incised geometric pattern of intersecting angular lines and rectangular forms, representing a highly abstracted and degenerate derivative of a classical chariot or wheel motif. The composition is dominated by strong diagonal and orthogonal raised ridges dividing the field into angular segments, with a curvilinear scroll or triskelion-like element visible to the left. The field is otherwise plain, with no inscription or border, typical of the late uninscribed Durotrigan quarter stater series. |
