| Obverse description | Stylised abstract head facing right, rendered in the Celtic artistic tradition. The lips are depicted as a stalk motif, and the chin bears a cross-in-ring ornament. The hair is composed of pelleted crescents arranged in a decorative pattern characteristic of Dobunnic coinage. The overall design reflects the highly schematised, non-naturalistic portraiture typical of Late Iron Age British struck silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylised horse with three tails prancing left, its body formed of annulated rings in the distinctive Celtic schematic manner. A floral or rosette motif occupies the field below the horse, while an abstracted bird's head device appears above, serving as a tribal or dynastic emblem. The composition is typical of the Dobunnic Cotswold Eagle series, with negative space used effectively within the irregular flan. |
