| Obverse description | Celticised Augustan-style male head facing left, rendered in the schematic Late Iron Age manner with boldly modelled hair depicted as curved strands. The legend CVNO appears before the effigy in Latin characters, attributing the issue to Cunobelin, while a pellet-in-ring ornament is placed beneath the chin as a decorative field element. The portrait betrays strong Roman provincial influence in its overall composition while retaining distinctly native stylistic conventions. |

| Reverse description | A bull, rendered in vigorous Celtic style, strides or butts aggressively to the right, its muscular form schematically delineated with hatched body markings. A pellet-in-ring symbol is positioned above the animal in the upper field, while the issuer's name TROCC appears as a legend below the bull, accompanied by a further pellet-in-ring device and scattered pellets distributed around the field. The overall composition is bold and energetic, characteristic of Catuvellauni bronze coinage of the early first century AD. |
