| Obverse description | Obverse exhibits a stylised floral composition formed by two crossed wreath bands, each separated by a row of pellets — a design characteristic commonly referred to as the 'tramlines' motif. A prominent pellet-in-ring device occupies the central field, flanked on each side by triplet ring groupings arranged symmetrically within the remaining field. The overall treatment is abstract and geometric, consistent with Late Iron Age Celtic artistic conventions of southern Britain. |

| Reverse description | Reverse depicts a stylised horse advancing to the left, rendered in the abstracted Celtic manner characteristic of the Atrebatic coinage tradition. The mane is articulated with beaded pellet detailing. Above the horse, a wing or fan-shaped motif occupies the upper field, while a small floral or solar symbol appears below the animal's body. Two small rings are positioned in front of the horse, serving as additional decorative field elements. The design is typical of the Regni Selsey series, showing the progressive stylisation derived from earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes. |
