| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylised comet motif, depicted within the cup of a vertical Y-shaped branch or trident form. The comet is rendered as a ringed or pellet-centred disc with radiating lines suggesting celestial movement. Flanking decorative elements, including pellets and curved lines, fill the surrounding field. The design is executed in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of southern British Celtic coinage, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Reverse description | A stylised boar facing left, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition, with a prominent arched back and simplified limbs. A comet motif, depicted as a pellet-centred disc with radiating lines, occupies the lower field beneath the boar. Additional pellets and decorative elements are scattered throughout the field. The flan is irregularly shaped, typical of hand-struck Celtic silver coinage, and the design bears no inscription or legend. |
