Obverse description A tricorne motif composed of three convex arcs arranged to form a triangular design, with a single central pellet enclosed within the triangle. The geometric design is rendered in the abstract Celtic tradition, occupying the full flan with no inscription or legend. The surface is devoid of any lettering, consistent with pre-Roman Icenic coinage.

Reverse description A stylised horse prancing to the right, depicted in the characteristic abstracted Celtic artistic style. The animal features bifurcated upper forelegs and a large, open pellet-form head. A pellet mane runs along the neck, while a six-spoked wheel symbol is positioned above the horse's back. A single pellet appears beneath the tail, and a triad of pellets is arranged below the horse in the lower field.
