| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a bold horizontal band or tablet containing the retrograde or stylised Celtic lettering reading LAT ISON, rendered in a distinctive angular script characteristic of late Iron Age Corieltauvian coinage. The inscription is enclosed between two parallel horizontal lines forming a cartouche, with small decorative pellet or annulet motifs visible in the upper and lower fields flanking the central tablet. The overall design is executed in a flat, linear style typical of hammered Celtic silver units of the mid-first century AD. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse facing right, rendered in the schematic, abstracted manner characteristic of Corieltauvian Iron Age coinage, with the body composed of bold curved and linear strokes. Above and around the horse are scattered decorative elements including pellets, annulets, and curvilinear motifs. To the left of the horse appears the letter E, the identifying type-mark of this emission. The composition fills the irregular flan in a lively, dynamic arrangement reflecting the late Celtic artistic tradition of the East Midlands. |
