| Obverse description | Stylised male head facing right in the Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with a prominent herringbone hair pattern. The large, prominent oval eye features a distinct oval pupil, conveying the abstracted, decorative aesthetic characteristic of late Iron Age Iceni coinage. The facial features are deliberately simplified, with no ear and no mouth depicted, reflecting the increasing abstraction of the classical prototype. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner characteristic of Iceni silver coinage. The horse displays a large open head with a flame-like projection issuing from the mouth, a beaded mane, and notably bifurcated upper forelegs. A spoked wheel appears in the upper field above the horse. Below the horse, the design occurs in two varieties: either a spoked wheel or a pellet triad, distinguishing the two known sub-types of this issue. |
