| Obverse description | Stylised wreath design divided by a central horizontal bar, terminating at each end in a shallow lunate crescent filled with a ring of pellets. The interior of the wreath is articulated by two cross-shaped devices rendered in the fluid, abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The overall composition is characteristic of late Corieltauvian coinage, with bold curvilinear elements radiating across the flan. |

| Reverse description | A highly stylised lunate horse advancing to the left, its body rendered in the characteristic disjointed Celtic manner with exaggerated curvilinear limbs. An uncertain inscription appears both above and below the horse, likely associated with the ruler name Esuprasu. Pellet and lozenge decorative elements are distributed across the field in the typical Corieltauvian fashion. |
