| Obverse description | Highly abstract and stylised triskelion design derived from a degraded classical head, rendered as three curvilinear, comma-shaped pellet-tipped elements arranged in rotational symmetry across the field. The design is entirely geometric and non-figurative, a characteristic feature of late Durotrigan coinage, with small annulets and pellets distributed across the surrounding field. The overall composition reflects the advanced abstraction typical of insular Celtic artistic tradition, with no legible inscription or lettering present. |

| Reverse description | Highly schematised and abstracted horse motif rendered in purely geometric form, reduced to a rectilinear stepped outline with angular limbs and a stylised body, consistent with the late Durotrigan coinage tradition. A pellet appears below the horse in the lower field, with additional pellets and linear elements scattered across the flat flan. The design shows extreme degradation from its Gallo-Belgic prototype, with no recognisable naturalistic detail remaining. No legend, inscription, or charioteer is present, and the overall style is characteristic of the final phase of Durotrigan silver coinage. |
