Reverse description Stylised Celtic horse or zoomorphic figure depicted in profile, executed in the characteristic abstract idiom of Icenian coinage, with the body formed by bold raised lines and prominent globular pellets arranged in clusters around the principal motif. A triangular or angular geometric element is visible beneath the figure, possibly representing a chariot wheel or decorative groundline device. Multiple pellet groupings are distributed across the field in a deliberate, asymmetric arrangement typical of Icenian half-unit reverses. The flan surface shows the irregular planchet preparation consistent with hand-struck Celtic silver coinage. No legend or inscription is present.
