| Obverse description | Two interlocking squares with inwardly curved sides rendered in a geometric Celtic style, enclosing the royal dynastic abbreviation 'CO' (for Commios, father of Tincomarus) within the central field. The design is framed by a pellet border, with additional pellets placed in the angles formed by the interlocking squares. The lettering is executed in a crisp Latin script typical of late Iron Age coinage from the Atrebatic kingdom. |

| Reverse description | A bull charging and butting to the right, rendered in a bold, stylised Celtic manner with exaggerated musculature and curved horns sweeping upward from a lowered head. The body of the animal is depicted with a compact, rounded form characteristic of Atrebatic silver miniature coinage. The abbreviated royal inscription 'TI' (for Tincomarus) appears above the bull in the upper field, providing dynastic attribution. The overall design occupies the full flan, consistent with the compact format of a minim denomination. |
