Beschrijving voorzijde Highly schematized Celtic rendering of an Apollo head, depicted in left profile as a series of concentric arcs and circular devices. The facial features are abstracted into concentric rings centred on a central pellet, representing the eye, surrounded by a large annular whorl filling the field. Two curved arc elements appear at the lower left, likely representing the chin and neck, while a cluster of three pellet-and-crescent motifs occupies the right field, interpreted as the laureate wreath or hair locks of the Apollo prototype. The design is cast in low relief with a characteristically rough and uneven surface typical of Kentish potin coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde A highly stylised bull advancing to the left, rendered in bold, deeply cast relief in the insular Celtic artistic tradition. The animal's body is depicted as a large rounded mass with a prominent humped back, the head lowered and the muzzle indicated by a projecting arc. Two curved horns rise above the head into the upper field, and a lashing tail curves upward to the rear. The legs are reduced to short, vestigial stumps below the body mass. The field is plain and the flan edge is irregular, consistent with the cast production technique of Cantian potin issues.
