Reverse description Highly stylised disjointed horse facing right, rendered in the abstract Celtic tradition with individual anatomical elements — legs, body, and head — separated into independent curvilinear forms. A central star motif, present in either six-pointed or eight-pointed form depending on the die variety (Van Arsdell 815-01, 815-05, 815-09), occupies the field near the horse. The leg lines may appear straight or curved according to die variety. Pellets and additional crescent or arc-shaped forms fill the surrounding field, and a prominent pellet-in-ring or globular terminal is visible above the horse. The composition is uninscribed and characteristic of the South Ferriby series issued by the Corieltauvi.
