| Obverse description | Stylised male head facing right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a field of multiple raised pellets arranged in curvilinear clusters above and around the face, giving a distinctive curly-top appearance. A short beard is indicated below the chin by a grouping of pellets or short lines. The facial features are boldly modelled in the Celtic manner, with a prominent nose and strong jaw visible in profile. |

| Reverse description | Highly stylised Celtic horse advancing left, its body rendered with characteristic La Tène curvilinear abstraction. The mane is depicted as a row of pellets following the curve of the neck. The horse's head is large and open in form, a hallmark of Icenic coinage. Above the horse, a lozenge motif is present with a pellet placed at each of its four corners. Below the horse, a pellet-in-ring device occupies the lower field. |
