| Obverse description | Two back-to-back open crescents with their points connected by lines and rows of pellets forming triangular projections, all enclosed within a lozenge of corded lines. Two pellets are positioned between the crescents in the central field. The overall composition is highly stylised in the Celtic La Tène artistic tradition, with geometric precision governing the arrangement of the ornamental elements. |

| Reverse description | Stylised globular horse advancing to right, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner with a solid, undifferentiated head. A rein line extends between the chest and muzzle. Above the horse's back, a V-shaped motif is flanked on either side by a pellet triad. Below the horse, a partially blundered inscription appears in the field, reflecting the semi-literate adaptation of Latin lettering common to late Icenic coinage. |
