| Obverse description | Highly stylised head facing right in the Celtic decorative tradition, rendered with crudely executed wreath motif. Waved hair curls depicted in flowing, abstracted form trail behind the head. A three-pronged hairbar or spike appears prominently, accompanied by shallow crescent devices. Radiating linear elements in the field suggest a draped cloak. The overall treatment is characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic artistic conventions, emphasising abstract pattern over naturalistic portraiture. |

| Reverse description | Cruciform design composed of a central 'thunderbolt' motif, formed by two opposed stylised fish-like or shuttle-shaped elements arranged on a cross axis, creating four quadrants. Each quadrant is filled with thin linear crescent devices, enhancing the dynamic symmetry of the composition. The motif is rendered in a highly abstract Celtic geometric style typical of Southern British coinage of the Late Iron Age. No inscription or legend is present. |
