| Obverse description | Highly stylised Celtic wreath motif occupying the central field, rendered as an abstracted arrangement of curved and foliate elements derived from the classical laurel wreath prototype. A double concentric ring device is positioned at the centre, serving as the focal point of the composition. A single crescent symbol appears below the central ring, a recurring apotropaic or celestial motif characteristic of Atrebatic coinage. The design is executed in the fluid, curvilinear La Tène artistic style typical of southern British Celtic coinage of this period. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | A highly abstracted Celtic horse is depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in the distinctive La Tène style characteristic of Atrebatic quarter staters. The horse displays a double tail, a prominent beaded or pellet-decorated mane, and its inner legs are joined at the knees by a rectangular face-like box motif — a distinctive and diagnostic feature of this type. A stylised floral or solar rosette device appears above the horse's back, likely a solar symbol. The composition fills the flan with characteristic Celtic dynamism, with no inscription or legend present. |
