| Obverse description | Highly abstracted derivative of a laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the characteristic late Celtic Iron Age style. The wreath is depicted with leaves turned inward, accompanied by a cloak motif and flanking crescents. A prominent spike flanked by two crescents rises from the design field, while a stylised yoke-like element appears to the right of the curls. The hair curls are rendered almost as full circles rather than conventional crescents, reflecting advanced stylistic abstraction. Small pellets are scattered near the crescents and spike, and a diagonal linear depression is visible to the right of the curl cluster. |

| Reverse description | Disarticulated horse depicted in sinuous motion facing left, rendered in the fully abstracted La Tène Celtic tradition. The neck is composed of two distinct curves, and the body elements are dispersed across the field in characteristic British Iron Age style. A pelleted sun motif, resembling a sunflower, appears below the horse. A so-called coffee bean shape is positioned in front of the horse. Above, a distinctive wreath-like motif formed of double V-shapes points left, downward, and right. A curved exergual line defines the lower boundary of the design. |
