| Obverse description | Devolved wreath motif composed of intertwined corded and zigzag lines filling the field, characteristic of late Iron Age Celtic stylisation derived from earlier Macedonian prototype wreaths. A beaded crescent device appears in the lower portion of the field, rendered in low relief. The overall design is highly abstracted, with no inscriptions or legend present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hand-struck Celtic quarter staters of this period. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse facing left, depicted in the characteristically abstracted Celtic manner with disjointed limbs and a pronounced curved body. A ringpole device — a pellet set within a ring or looped linear form — appears in the field before the horse. Beneath the horse, a triad of pellets is arranged in a triangular grouping, serving as the principal diagnostic element of the Triadic type. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or inscription, and the flan edges are irregular. |
