| Obverse description | Two outline crescents arranged back-to-back in the field, with two pellets positioned between their bodies. The crescents are framed above and below by two parallel horizontal lines, from which rows of pellets and further linear elements extend perpendicularly, creating a structured geometric border pattern. The overall composition is characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic abstract design, emphasising symmetry and repetitive decorative motifs in lieu of figural imagery. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prancing to the right, rendered in the Celtic abstract tradition, with a notably large oval head and a single pellet indicating the eye. The mane is depicted as a corn-ear motif, and an S-shaped symbol appears below the horse's head. A daisy or rayed flower ornament is placed above the horse in the upper field, while three pellets are distributed beneath the body and two further pellets appear below the tail. An inscription in Latin characters is positioned in the exergue below the horse. |
