| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised male head facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstraction of the La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is elaborately depicted as a dense mass of deeply impressed feather-like or leaf-shaped pellets radiating outward from the crown, filling the field in an expansive, almost flame-like arrangement. The facial features — eye, nose, and mouth — are summarily but expressively rendered in low relief, with a pronounced brow and a beaded or pellet border visible along the coin's periphery. The overall composition is derived from a remote Macedonian prototype but has been thoroughly transformed into a purely insular Celtic idiom. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central figure of a stylised horned deity — traditionally identified as the Horned God Cernunnos or a cognate divinity associated with the Harlow temple cult site — depicted frontally in a schematic, abstracted manner. Two confronted animals, interpreted as boars or horned beasts, flank the central figure, their bodies rendered with pellet-and-ring motifs and curvilinear Celtic detailing. Large concentric ring-and-pellet symbols occupy the upper field to either side, possibly representing celestial or solar emblems. The lower field contains further abstract zoomorphic and geometric elements consistent with late Iron Age British coinage. No inscription or legend appears; the design is entirely pictorial and executed in the bold, energetic relief typical of Catuvellauni silver units. |
