| Obverse description | Central quadrilobe design enclosing a saltire, the whole superimposed upon a stylized cross whose arms extend toward the coin's periphery. The four cantons formed by the cross each bear a letter of the abbreviated legend, rendered in a schematic Celtic adaptation of Latin script. The overall composition is geometric and abstract, characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage in the Catuvellauni tradition. |

| Reverse description | A boar advancing to the right, depicted in the stylized Celtic manner with an arched back, prominent bristles along the spine, and short sturdy legs rendered in low relief. A six-pointed star or celestial symbol occupies the field below the animal's body. The abbreviated royal legend TAS appears above the boar in the upper field, attributing the issue to Tasciovanus, king of the Catuvellauni. |
