| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in the stylised Celtic idiom, with a prominent moustache and strongly delineated facial features. The head is surmounted by a winged helmet, the wing rendered in relief with decorative beaded or textured detail along its length. The neck and jaw are boldly modelled, consistent with late Iron Age British die-cutting conventions. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prances to the right, rendered in the abstracted Celtic manner with elongated limbs and a distinctively bushy, flowing tail. A pellet boss appears in the field below the horse's body, serving as a decorative filler element typical of Catuvellauni coinage. A small, uncertain animal or zoomorphic motif is depicted above the horse in the upper field. The overall composition fills the flan in characteristic late Iron Age British style, with no inscription or legend present. |
