| Obverse description | A stylised boar advances to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. A pellet appears on the shoulder, the front legs are bifurcated above the knee and merge to a single line below, and prominent long bristles are depicted along the spine. Pellets are arranged in the field before the boar, possibly forming a ring, with additional ring motifs in the upper field. A stack of four pellets occupies the lower field, above a double exergual line enclosing a row of pellets between the two rules. |

| Reverse description | A horse prances to the right, rendered in a schematic Celtic style, with a ladder-pattern mane and a large pellet indicating the eye. A necklace and belt are depicted on the horse's body, and the tail is rendered as a single line with shorter lines branching off at angles. A pellet triad is positioned below the arc connecting the neck to the rump above, while a six-pointed star appears prominently in the lower field. |
