| Obverse description | Devoid of figurative portraiture in the Celtic abstract tradition, the obverse features three back-to-back outline crescents arranged symmetrically around a central pellet, their points directed outward. A single pellet is placed within each cusp of the crescent forms. The entire composition is enclosed by six curved arcs, each bearing a triad or diamond arrangement of pellets within its cusp, creating a highly stylised and geometric field design characteristic of Iceni coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised horse advancing to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic idiom with dashes indicating the mane and a notably large, oval head. The shoulder is sometimes adorned with triple leaf motifs, and the forelegs are depicted in a doubled upper arrangement. Beneath the horse's head appears the letter S, while a phallic symbol — rendered as an elongated ring enclosing a central pellet — is positioned above, flanked on either side by a pellet triad. Below the horse, a pellet accompanies the retrograde or abbreviated tribal inscription. |
