| Obverse description | Highly stylised Celtic design derived from a laureate head, rendered in abstract geometric form characteristic of Iron Age British coinage. A central concentric ring motif representing a sun symbol dominates the field, flanked by a crescent and pellet. Three diagonal hair-lock striations radiate outward, interspersed with curved elements evoking a hidden or disintegrated facial effigy. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction of the Macedonian gold stater prototype common to British Celtic quarter staters. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse advancing to the left, rendered in the highly abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The tail is distinctively composed of a row of beads, the defining diagnostic feature of this type. A floral or rayed sun symbol appears above the horse in the upper field. Below the horse, two rings and a ringed pellet are visible, while in front of the horse appear a ring and three-ringed pellets, all serving as decorative field ornaments typical of Atrebatic quarter stater coinage. |
