| Obverse description | Central upturned crescent with beaded arc forming the upper border of the design. A rayed star within a ring is positioned above the crescent in the upper field. Two pellets appear symmetrically flanking the central motif on either side, with an additional single pellet on each flank. A plain exergual line runs across the lower field, below which uncertain lettering — likely a partial rendering of TASCIO — is faintly present. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse advances to the right in typical Late Iron Age Celtic artistic convention, rendered with abstracted, curvilinear body lines. A crescent device is placed above the horse in the upper field. Immediately in front of the horse's head, a star within a ring serves as a prominent field ornament. An A-shaped or lambda-like decorative motif is positioned beneath the horse, occupying the lower field. |
