| Obverse description | Stylised boar depicted in right profile, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The animal displays a characteristically chunky, compact form with doubled upper foreleg lines, a defining artistic convention of this type. Stiff dorsal bristles are depicted along the spine, joined by a connecting line across their upper terminals. A pellet rosette appears in the lower field beneath the boar. |

| Reverse description | Stylised horse advancing to right, rendered in the schematic Celtic idiom with a prominent, large open head and doubled upper foreleg lines consistent with the obverse treatment. Above the horse, a wheel motif flanked by two opposed plain triangles occupies the upper field, a common symbolic device in Icenian coinage. A pellet rosette is positioned in the lower field beneath the horse, mirroring the obverse layout. |
