| Obverse description | Stylised male head facing right, rendered in characteristically abstract Celtic artistic style. The hair is depicted as a herringbone pattern of curved lines resembling a corn ear, radiating in sweeping arcs across the upper field. A prominent, large oval eye dominates the facial area, lending the effigy its distinctive 'smiler' appearance. The facial features are boldly modelled in high relief with confident, flowing die-engraving typical of Iceni silverwork. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A horse is depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the highly stylised, disjointed manner characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic coinage. The horse's head is open and schematically rendered. Above the horse, an outline crescent and two rings are arranged to form a schematic face, a design element associated with the 'Odin' type classification. A pellet within a ring appears below the horse, serving as an additional decorative device in the field. No inscription or legend is present. |
