| Obverse description | Two opposed boars arranged symmetrically around a central pelleted sun motif, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The boars are depicted in profile, their forms stylised with curvilinear lines suggesting musculature and bristles. The composition is tightly arranged within the irregular flan, with the pelleted sun occupying the central field. The overall design is characteristic of the Hayling Island type, attributable to the Atrebates and Regini tribal coinage of southern Britain. |

| Reverse description | An annulate horse advancing left with head lowered, its body decorated with pellets on the chest and rump in typical Celtic schematic style. Multiple pelleted sun symbols are dispersed throughout the field surrounding the horse, creating a densely ornamented composition. The horse's form is rendered with characteristic Iron Age abstraction, with limbs and body reduced to flowing curvilinear elements. The annulate decoration on the horse's body is a defining feature of the Hayling Two Boars type. No legend or inscription is present. |
