| Obverse description | Highly stylized and abstracted Celtic wreath design derived from classical Apollo types, rendered in the distinctive Corieltauvian manner. The central field features a schematic tree- or lyre-like motif composed of radiating pellets and curved lines, flanked by crescentic and globular elements. The design is characteristically degenerate in the Celtic tradition, with the original Hellenistic wreath reduced to a bold, almost geometric pattern. The surfaces are irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck flan production. No inscription appears on this face. |

| Reverse description | A disjointed, highly celticized horse progressing to the left, rendered in fragmented abstract form with the body broken into component pellets, curved lines, and crescents typical of late Iron Age British coinage. Various subsidiary symbols including pellets and curved ornaments occupy the field around the horse. The legend VEP CORF appears in two parts, divided above and below the horse, and is executed in crude Latin-influenced lettering. The overall style reflects the mature Corieltauvian die-cutting tradition, associating this issue with a named authority or magistrate. |
