| Obverse description | Highly stylised and degenerate rendering of an Apollo head facing, derived from Macedonian prototype. The wreath is depicted with leaves pointing inward, flanked by crescents and vestiges of a draped cloak. The die is heavily worn and near-plain, reducing the design to an abstracted, almost uniface field with only faint residual detail surviving. The execution reflects the progressive Celtic schematisation of the classical Apollo type characteristic of the Corieltauvi coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylised lunate horse prancing left, rendered in the abstract linear Celtic idiom typical of late Iron Age British coinage. A boot-shaped or pellet-terminated object occupies the central field beneath the horse's body. Above the horse, two ringed pellets are arranged to form a down-turned anchor motif. Below the horse, a six-pointed star representing a solar symbol is positioned in the lower field. The composition displays the characteristic Corieltauvi aesthetic of geometric infill elements distributed across the reverse field. |
