| Obverse description | Stylised abstract design featuring a prominent curvilinear motif rendered in the characteristically schematic Celtic fashion. Two bold raised arcs, one larger and one smaller, intersect across the broadly concave flan, forming a simplified ring or loop pattern against a granular, heavily textured field. The design is devoid of any legend or inscription, with the entire visual vocabulary expressed through geometric abstraction typical of late Icenic silver unit coinage. |

| Reverse description | A highly stylised horse depicted in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, facing right, with a disjointed anatomy rendered through curved and linear strokes. Scattered pellets and annulets fill the field above and below the horse, serving as decorative elements characteristic of Icenic silver unit types. A prominent ringed pellet or wheel motif appears below the horse's body, consistent with the 'Toney Curly Top Ring' series. The flan is irregular with a beaded or scalloped outer border, and the reverse carries no legend or inscription. |
