| Obverse description | Stylised female head facing right in the Celtic artistic tradition, featuring a sharply pointed nose, rounded chin, and a prominent ear. A diadem is rendered across the forehead, and the hair is depicted with characteristic Iron Age schematic detailing. Pellet-ring roundels are positioned in the field before the face, a typical decorative motif of Icenic coinage. |

| Reverse description | A solid, stylised horse striding right with a distinctive leaf-shaped tail, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner characteristic of Icenic silver units. Above the horse, a scroll motif, a pellet-ringed pellet, and small ringed pellets are disposed across the field. A pellet-ringed pellet appears below the horse in the lower field. The design exhibits the geometric ornamentation typical of East Anglian Celtic coinage of the late pre-Roman period. |
