| Obverse description | Stylised crossed wreath design derived from the Apollo laureate prototype, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition. Four curved leafy branches radiate from a prominent central rose motif, the petals of which surround a raised central pellet. The interstices between the branches are filled with pellets and curved relief elements. The overall design is bold and highly stylised, characteristic of late Iron Age Celtic die-cutting in southern Britain. |

| Reverse description | A highly stylised horse prancing to the right, depicted in the abstract Celtic manner with disjointed anatomical elements. A pellet-in-ring device is placed on the rump of the horse. Dahlia or sunflower-type floral ornaments appear above and below the horse. Additional pellet-in-ring motifs are positioned in the field before and behind the horse, filling the flan in characteristic Iron Age decorative fashion. No legend present. |
