| Obverse description | Highly stylised abstract design derived from a wreathed head motif, executed in the Celtic curvilinear tradition. A cogwheel or rayed disc occupies the central field, flanked by sinuous leaf-shaped pellets and interlocking scrolls suggestive of a wreath. A schematic hidden face is discernible in the lower field, rendered through curved lines and pellets. Four stylised locks of hair project upward from the central design. The overall composition reflects the abstract, non-figurative artistic vocabulary characteristic of southern British Celtic coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse advances to the right, its body rendered in the abstract Celtic manner with elongated limbs and a distinctively short, truncated stub tail — the type's defining characteristic. A floral sun motif with radiating petals is positioned above the horse in the upper field, while a cogwheel or rayed disc occupies the lower field beneath the horse. Additional pellets and curvilinear decorative elements fill the surrounding field. The composition is typical of the Regni series, combining zoomorphic and geometric imagery in a fluid, non-naturalistic style. |
