| Obverse description | Stylised, highly abstracted head facing right, rendered in the Celtic curvilinear tradition. A prominent crescent-shaped arc defines the crown of the head, with radiating lines suggesting a sunburst or solar motif at the chin. Multiple pellet-in-ring ornaments are dispersed across the field, and a schematic wheel device appears in front of the face. The overall composition is characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage, emphasising decorative abstraction over naturalistic portraiture. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prancing to the right, its mane rendered as a series of parallel ladder-like rungs, a distinctive diagnostic feature of this type. The body of the horse is delineated with bold, confident Celtic line work, with limbs rendered in simplified but dynamic form. Below the horse, a pellet-in-ring symbol occupies the lower field, serving as a ground element. Additional pellets and curved decorative devices fill the surrounding field. The reverse design is consistent with the broader Belgic artistic tradition of schematised equine imagery. |
