| Obverse description | Stylised Celtic head facing left, rendered in abstract curvilinear fashion characteristic of Icenian silver coinage. The face displays a prominent chin adorned with a stylised beard, a distinctive heart-shaped ear, and a diadem or torque-like band above the head. A flowering plant on a stem projects from the open mouth, serving as the defining iconographic feature of this 'Flower Face' type. The design is executed with fluid, abstract lines typical of Late Iron Age British celticised artistic tradition. |

| Reverse description | Stylised horse advancing left, depicted in the abstract, disaggregated manner characteristic of Icenian coinage, with double-lined upper forelegs conveying movement. The mane is rendered as a series of short dashes or pellets. An S-shaped or sinuous motif with pellet-filled curls projects from the horse's mouth, echoing the floral device on the obverse. Additional uncertain objects, possibly pellets or abstract symbols, are distributed above and below the horse in the field. |
