| Obverse description | Stylised Celtic wreath design traversed by a horizontal bar terminating in a crescent at each end, each crescent enclosing a ring of pellets. The composition is rendered in the abstract, curvilinear tradition characteristic of Late Iron Age British Celtic coinage, with the decorative elements distributed symmetrically across the field. The surface is gold-plated over a bronze core, producing a flan with typical Celtic irregular rounding. |

| Reverse description | A schematised lunate horse advancing left, depicted in the highly stylised abstract manner typical of Corieltauvian tribal coinage. The horse features a large, rounded head rendered as a pellet within a ring, with a further pellet at the centre of the body. A question-mark-shaped object appears below the tail. The bilinear inscription AVN T COST appears above and below the horse, though it is frequently blundered or retrograde on individual specimens, and characteristically lacks a crossbar in the letter A. |
