Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylised and abstracted head of Apollo facing right in the Late Iron Age Celtic tradition, rendered as a series of flowing arcs and geometric elements. The wreath is depicted with leaves curving downward and sweeping around the face in sinuous lines. A distinctive spike-and-crescent motif appears with a pellet terminal and one additional isolated pellet in the field. Two hidden secondary faces are incorporated into the composition, a hallmark of the 'two-faced' Selsey type. The overall design reflects the progressive abstraction characteristic of southern British Celtic coinage of the mid-first century BC.

Beschrijving keerzijde A disjointed horse galloping right, rendered in the abstract Celtic style typical of southern British Iron Age coinage, with body segments separated in the characteristic manner of the Selsey series. The tail is depicted as a triple form with pellet terminals. The horse's ear is composed of two curves forming an oval shape. Below the horse, an eight-spoked wheel occupies the lower field, while the charioteer's schematised arms appear above. A curved zig-zag exergual line runs beneath the composition, dividing the design from the lower field.
