| Obverse description | Highly stylised, abstracted derivation of an Apollo head facing right, rendered in the fluid Celtic La Tène artistic tradition. The original wreath motif has been deconstructed into a series of curved lines and pellet-tipped spikes, with the facial features reduced to minimal suggestion within the overall design. A prominent spike or horn-like projection, ornamented with three pellets arranged in a triangular grouping, rises from the upper field. The entire composition reflects the progressive abstraction characteristic of British Celtic coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A stylised triple-tailed horse depicted in motion to the left, its body defined by bold, curvilinear lines consistent with late Iron Age Celtic artistic convention. A strap or girth line is rendered beneath the horse's belly. Above the horse, a floral sun motif — commonly described as a dahlia wheel — fills the upper field with radiating petals. Below the horse, a pelleted ring or annulet motif, sometimes likened to an anemone flower, occupies the lower field. The overall composition is typical of the Atrebatic coinage tradition attributed to the southern British tribes. |
