Obverse description Uninscribed convex hemispherical surface, entirely plain and devoid of any design elements or legend. The field presents a smooth, domed relief characteristic of the Durotrigan quarter stater fabric, with the irregular flan edge exhibiting the typical scalloped outline produced by the hammered striking process.

Reverse description Prominent bold cross motif in high relief dominating the entire field, with four arms radiating from a central pellet boss toward the scalloped flan edges, each arm featuring curved, tapering linear extensions reminiscent of a stylised solar or wheel symbol. The cross design is characteristic of the Ringwood Cross type attributed to the Durotriges, executed without legend or additional ornament, with the irregular flan boundary framing the design.
