| Obverse description | Blank obverse field, characteristic of the Late Whaddon Chase type within the British Iron Age coinage tradition. The surface is entirely uninscribed and devoid of deliberate design, presenting a plain, slightly convex flan typical of hammered Celtic gold staters. The irregular flan edges reflect the hand-struck production technique of the period. |

| Reverse description | A stylised Celtic horse prancing to the right occupies the central field, rendered in the abstract curvilinear artistic tradition characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. A prominent wing motif appears above the horse, while a pelletal sun symbol and a corded groundline are positioned below. A pierced mullet symbol is placed before the horse. The composition reflects the progressive abstraction from the original Macedonian stater prototype, with dynamic disjointed elements arranged across the flan. |
