Obverse description Stylised Celtic lunate head facing right, rendered in abstract curvilinear style. The hair is composed of three ridged crescents, with a pellet-defined hairline. A prominent sunburst motif occupies the chin area, and the lips are depicted as a short raised stalk. A wing motif appears in the field before the face, characteristic of the East Wiltshire Wings type.

Reverse description Highly stylised Celtic horse proceeding left, distinguished by a double tail rendered in annulate form. Disjointed decorative elements fill the field, including small ring pellets above the horse's back and large spoked wheel symbols positioned both above and below the body. Wing motifs appear in the field before and behind the horse, a defining feature of this regional type within the Dobunnic coinage tradition.
