| Obverse description | Stylised Celtic horse facing right with head raised, rendered in the characteristically abstracted La Tène artistic tradition. Before the horse, three S-shaped ornamental devices are arranged in the field, accompanied by two V-shaped elements. The design is executed in a deliberately schematic manner typical of Eastern British Iron Age coinage, with boldly incised lines forming the limbs and body of the animal. |

| Reverse description | Stylised Celtic horse depicted facing right with a prominent, exaggerated open mouth, a diagnostic feature of the Eastern North Thames SSS type. A floral or rosette sun motif occupies the lower field beneath the horse. Above and in front of the animal, pellet-in-ring ornaments are positioned in the field, serving as characteristic decorative devices of this regional issue. The entire composition reflects the highly abstracted and symbolic artistic vocabulary of Late Iron Age Celtic die-cutters in the Trinovantian territory. |
