| Obverse description | Plain field bearing the distinctive Dobunnic tree symbol, rendered in low relief with ten splayed branches radiating symmetrically from a central vertical trunk. A single pellet is placed at the base of the trunk, anchoring the design. The flan is irregular and convex, consistent with a hammered bronze core subsequently gold-plated. The overall style is characteristic of the abstract Celtic die-cutting tradition of the late Iron Age. |

| Reverse description | A stylised triple-tailed horse prancing to the right, executed in the abstract Celtic manner. The tail is divided into three distinct strands, each terminating in a pellet. The horse displays an elliptical ear rendered as a curved line. Below the horse, a six-spoked wheel occupies the lower field, a common Dobunnic reverse emblem. A V-shaped device appears beneath the tail. The tribal royal inscription is placed above the horse and distributed within the field around the legs. |
