| Obverse description | Stylised corn ear motif rendered in the late Celtic tradition, with the ear depicted with or without a central stalk, oriented vertically within the flan. The divided inscription CA-MV appears to the left and right of the corn ear, identifying the mint of Camulodunum. Pellets may appear scattered in the field. The design reflects the abstracted, non-portraiture coinage typical of the Catuvellaunian monetary tradition under Cunobelin. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prances to the right, its mane rendered as a series of short dashes in characteristic late Celtic artistic convention. Above the horse, a star and a branch motif are prominently placed within the field. The abbreviated inscription CVNO, denoting the issuing king Cunobelin, appears below the horse. A distinctive heart-shaped motif is positioned between the forelegs of the horse, serving as the key diagnostic feature of this 'Wild Heart' stater type. |
