| Obverse description | Highly schematized and abstracted design derived from the classical 'three men in a boat' or 'wolf and twins' motif, rendered in a characteristically crude Iron Age Celtic style. The central element is a large lunate crescent with one end squared off, from the lower arc of which hang three pendulous appendages. Above the truncated crescent, elongated spikes terminating in pellets radiate upward. A pellet rosette (daisy motif) occupies the left field. |

| Reverse description | Geometric reverse field featuring a crude zigzag thunderbolt motif traversing the coin diagonally, accompanied by a horizontal line of pellets across the field. Flanking these central elements are a Y-shaped device, a crude irregular six-sided object, a schematic bird-like form, and a ring to the left of the field, all rendered in the highly abstract late Iron Age Celtic idiom characteristic of Durotrigan coinage. |
