| Obverse description | Plain, uninscribed field displaying bold diagonal raised banding derived from the abstract decomposition of a Macedonian-style laureate head. Two faint annular ring devices are visible within the field, remnants of the stylised wreath elements common to this series. The surface is unmarked by legend or inscription, consistent with the purely abstract Celtic artistic tradition of the Atrebates and Regini. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular hammered edge typical of British Iron Age quarter staters. |

| Reverse description | A stylised Celtic horse advances to the right, rendered in the characteristic schematic manner of the Atrebatic coinage. Above the horse, a radiate floral sun symbol with pellet-tipped rays occupies the upper field, accompanied by scattered pellets and annular ring devices throughout. A prominent double-ring motif appears below the horse, serving as a ground line. The composition is animated and fills the flan with typical Iron Age decorative energy, with no inscription or legend present. |
