| Obverse description | Stylised facing head rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, depicted in highly schematic form. A central pellet eye is visible within a triangular facial outline, with lentoid or linear elements suggesting facial features. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned, consistent with the minimalist engraving style characteristic of Iceni fractional silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse in motion, prancing to the left, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner typical of Iceni tribal coinage. Pellets are disposed around the horse, above and below, serving as decorative field ornaments. Above the horse, a curved abstract form — possibly representing a wheel or floral motif — occupies the upper field. The composition is characteristic of the Tricorne type as catalogued under ABC 1618, with the horse as the dominant reverse device. |
