| Obverse description | Diademed head facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract style, with bold, stylised flame-like hair locks radiating outward from the crown in fluid, curvilinear forms. The facial features are schematically rendered, with a prominent annular eye, strong nose, and defined chin. A diadem or torque-like band is visible across the brow. The flan is irregularly shaped, as is typical of hand-struck Celtic silver units of this period. |

| Reverse description | A triple-tailed horse prancing right, depicted in the highly stylised Celtic artistic tradition with disjointed, abstracted limbs and a segmented body. A disembodied human head is shown above the horse, rendered schematically with dotted ornaments. A boar, the defining type-symbol of this Regni issue, appears below the horse, identifiable by its characteristic spined back and compact form. Pellets and decorative curvilinear elements fill the field, consistent with the artistic vocabulary of southern British Iron Age coinage. |
