| Obverse description | Abstract geometric design composed of three radial bands of beaded lines arranged in a triradiate pattern, with the intervening angles densely ornamented with pellets, crescents, and decorative motifs in the La Tène Celtic artistic tradition. The overall composition fills the flan and exhibits the characteristic curvilinear complexity of late Iron Age British coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylised, attenuated horse advancing to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner with elongated spindly limbs; the forelegs are replaced by a prominent four-armed spiral motif. Below the horse, a large nine-spoked chariot wheel occupies the lower field, serving as the principal identifying device of this Regni type. The composition is typical of the disjointed, symbolically charged horse-and-wheel reverse designs of the southern British Iron Age coinage series. |
