Obverse description Essentially uninscribed and largely plain field, characteristic of the Gallo-Belgic derivation of this type. A subtle central banding traverses the slightly concave surface, with a single granular pellet situated near the flan edge. The design is devoid of figural or epigraphic elements, reflecting the abstract stylistic tradition of the Atrebatic coinage of this period.

Reverse description A stylised horse advances to the right, rendered in the highly abstracted Celtic artistic idiom, with a distinctive triple-strand tail fanning behind the hindquarters. A spoked wheel device is placed beneath the horse's body. Above, a fragmented and curvilinear element interpreted as the charioteer's arm extends across the upper field. A pellet-in-square symbol appears in the field before the horse, serving as a characteristic identifying device of this Selsey series issue.
