Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylised and abstracted effigy of Apollo facing right, rendered in the characteristic late Iron Age Celtic manner. The facial features have been dissolved into a series of elongated oval pellets and curved relief lines arranged across the flan, retaining only the most schematic suggestion of a human head. Diagonal striated lines to the left of the field likely represent vestiges of the laurel wreath or hair, while bold curvilinear forms to the right evoke the neck and jaw. The design reflects the progressive debasement and artistic abstraction typical of Durotrigan coinage, derived ultimately from the Macedonian gold stater prototype. The field is otherwise plain and unlettered.

Beschrijving keerzijde Highly abstracted and disjointed horse progressing to the left, rendered in the characteristic schematic style of late Durotrigan silver coinage. The body of the horse has been decomposed into discrete curvilinear and pellet elements scattered across the flan: a cluster of large circular pellets in the upper field represents the mane or body mass, while crescentic forms below indicate the hindquarters and underside. Two slender staffs or legs with terminal pellets are visible in the lower field, accompanied by a single isolated pellet below the horse, a vestigial remnant of the ground line or wheel motif. To the right, a circular spiral or ringlet occupies the field. Parallel lines to the lower right may represent the tail. The composition is entirely aniconic in effect, exhibiting the advanced abstraction characteristic of the later Durotrigan series. No legend or inscription is present.
