| Obverse description | Stylised crossed wreath derived from the classical Apollo laureate prototype, rendered in a highly abstract Celtic manner with flowing, curvilinear strands radiating outward from the centre. A prominent rose motif occupies the central field, depicted as a tightly coiled spiral surrounded by radiating petals, characteristic of the Regni artistic tradition. The entire design is executed in bold relief with fluid, organic lines typical of Late Iron Age British Celtic coinage. No inscription or legend is present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, as is typical of hammered Celtic quarter staters of this series. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic idiom with disjointed limbs and a curved, segmented body typical of southern British Iron Age coinage. A beaded ring or annulet is positioned above the horse in the upper field. Below the horse appears a rose symbol depicted as a large central pellet surrounded by three radiating petals, serving as a distinctive identifying element of this Regni issue. No charioteer or driver is present, and the design field is otherwise unadorned. No inscription or legend appears on the reverse. |
