| Obverse description | Stylized, highly abstracted head facing right in the characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with bold curved and rectilinear design elements. A prominent crescent-shaped arc frames the upper portion of the head, with hatched or pellet-row detailing suggestive of a wreath or hair treatment. A lozenge or geometric motif occupies the central field, likely representing a schematized facial feature. The overall composition reflects the scyphate (concave) flan shape typical of the Lindsey series. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

| Reverse description | Concave reverse displaying a highly stylized triple-spiral or triskelion design, composed of two prominent volutes and associated curved lines arranged across the central field, characteristic of the Corieltauvi quarter stater coinage. Pellet ornaments are scattered within the field, and a complex geometric or floral rosette motif appears in the lower portion. The flan edge is irregular and granular, consistent with hand-hammered Celtic gold coinage. No inscriptions or legends are present. The abstract, swirling composition is entirely aniconographic and typical of the Lindsey scyphate series. |
