| Obverse description | Highly stylised, abstract representation derived from a classical head motif, rendered in the Celtic artistic tradition. The design features a fragmented facial profile with schematic hair locks or strands visible to the left, typical of late Iron Age British coinage. A prominent curved or oval element dominates the central field, possibly a vestigial eye or decorative boss. The surface shows the characteristic irregular flan and fluid, plastic modelling of hammered Celtic silverwork. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse advances to the left, rendered in the dynamic, abstract Celtic tradition derived from Macedonian prototypes. Above the horse, a prominent spoked wheel or solar disc motif occupies the upper central field, flanked by a crescent or pellet to the upper right. A schematic human or anthropomorphic figure appears beneath or before the horse, a characteristic feature of Atrebatic coinage of this series. Additional decorative elements including pellets and curved lines fill the field. No legend or inscription is present. |
