| Obverse description | A stylised boar facing left occupies the central field, rendered in the flowing Celtic abstract manner characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. Four lyre-shaped ornamental devices are arranged above the boar, each depicted with distinctive curvilinear detail. A small ring or pellet device appears in the lower field beneath the boar. The design fills the flan with bold relief work, the irregular flan edges typical of hand-struck Celtic coinage of this period. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with pre-conquest British tribal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylised stag is depicted facing left with its head turned back over its body, rendered in the characteristic abstract Celtic artistic tradition. A winged symbol or avian device appears above the rump of the stag, executed in fluid curvilinear relief. A prominent double-ring or concentric circle device is placed in the lower field beneath the stag. The overall composition fills the irregular flan with bold, deeply struck relief elements typical of hammered Iron Age coinage. No inscription or legend is present on this face. |
