| Obverse description | Stylised male head facing right in the Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with characteristic abstraction. The hair is depicted in a distinctive dash-and-dot pattern, and a large oval eye dominates the facial field. An outline crescent form serves as the ear, while the open mouth is delineated by thick, prominently modelled lips. The portrait is schematic rather than naturalistic, reflecting the decorative idiom typical of Late Iron Age Iceni coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prances to the right in the characteristic Celtic curvilinear manner, with the mane rendered as a series of pellets. The horse features a large, open, disproportionate head consistent with Iceni artistic convention. A pellet-in-ring motif appears in the field before the horse, and a second pellet-in-ring is placed below, sometimes associated with a plain triangle. Above the horse, a lozenge ornament with a pellet at each corner — or alternatively a ring — occupies the upper field, a recurrent decorative element of this issue. |
