| Obverse description | Stylised male head facing right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a mass of multiple pellets arranged in a curvilinear pattern, characteristic of the Toney Curly Top type. A short beard is indicated below the chin by additional pellet groupings. The facial features are highly schematised, with the overall design occupying the full flan in the manner typical of Iceni silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Stylised horse prancing to the right, with the mane rendered as a row of pellets along the neck, a hallmark decorative device of Iceni coinage. The head of the horse is notably large and open in form. Above the horse, a pelletal sun motif is depicted, composed of a central pellet surrounded by radiating elements. Below the horse, either a pellet within a ring or a five-pointed star serves as a ground ornament, serving as a key diagnostic feature distinguishing this variety. |
