| Obverse description | Stylised Celtic head facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène artistic tradition. The face features prominently exaggerated lips depicted as curved stalks or pellets, with almond-shaped eyes and a boldly modelled nose. The hair is rendered as a series of corded or rope-like strands radiating from the crown, interspersed with decorative pellets and spiral motifs. The overall composition fills the flan with an abstract, expressionistic quality typical of late Iron Age British coinage. The field is plain, with no inscription or legend. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prancing left, depicted in the abstracted Celtic artistic manner characteristic of southern British Iron Age coinage. The horse's body is rendered with curved, flowing lines, its legs suggested by bold strokes. Below the horse, a prominent petalled or rayed ring ornament occupies the lower field, likely derived from a solar or wheel motif. Additional pellets and linear decorative elements are scattered in the field. The flan is irregular, with no legend or inscription present. |
