| Obverse description | Abstract Celtic design composed of a wreath-derived motif rendered as an intricate arrangement of pellets, loops, annulets, and stars, the overall composition possibly representing a schematised human figure. The design fills the flan in the characteristically flowing, curvilinear style of Late Iron Age British Celtic art, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Reverse description | A highly stylised, attenuated horse depicted in profile facing left or right, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner with a slender body and elongated limbs. The field is populated with decorative subsidiary elements including pellets, annulets, and stars disposed around the equine figure. No legend or inscription is present; the design is entirely aniconic in the conventional sense, reflecting the artistic conventions of the Atrebatic coinage tradition. |
