| Obverse description | Stylised Dobunnic tree symbol occupying the central field, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract manner. The design features a vertical central spine from which ten lateral branches extend symmetrically, each terminating in a curvilinear flourish. A distinctive ring or annulet is positioned at the base of the trunk, serving as a diagnostic element of this issue. The entire motif is struck on a plain, unadorned field with no legend or border. The flan is irregular in form, as is typical of British Celtic hammered coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A stylised triple-tailed horse depicted in motion to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of Dobunnic coinage. The tail divides into three distinct strands, each terminating in a pellet. The ear is depicted in an elliptical open form spread at the top. Beneath the horse, a six-spoked wheel serves as a subsidiary device, while a crescent appears above the animal. The abbreviated inscription ANTED is placed above the horse, referencing the tribal ruler Antedios. |
