| Obverse description | Central rectangular panel containing the Latin inscription SIIC, bordered above and below by horizontal lines creating a tabula ansata-style frame. A pellet-in-ring ornament is positioned above the panel in the upper field, and a second concentric-ring pellet motif occupies the lower field. The design is rendered in the characteristic flat, linear Celtic engraving style typical of Cantian silver minims of the early first century AD. |

| Reverse description | A stylised animal, most likely a horse or lion, depicted in left-facing profile in the Celtic artistic tradition. The creature's body is rendered with schematic, abstracted musculature, with limbs indicated by simplified linear forms. The field surrounding the figure is plain, consistent with the compact flan of this small denomination. The engraving reflects the abstract zoomorphic style common to late Iron Age British coinage of the Cantii. |
