| Obverse description | Two solid crescents arranged back-to-back in the central field, each concave face adorned with a projecting row of pellets. A V-shaped ornament is positioned at each terminal point of the crescents. Pellet triads appear above and below the central crescent motif, lending symmetry to the composition. A bold step element traverses the flan in the lower portion of the field, serving as a principal distinguishing feature of this Freckenham type. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse passant to the right occupies the central field, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of Icenian coinage. The horse's head is large and rounded, with an avian or bird-like form and a closed mouth. Above the horse, a pelleted ringed pellet (rosette motif) and a pellet ring encircling a central pellet (daisy motif) are disposed in the field, with an additional ringed pellet completing the upper arrangement. A further daisy motif appears below the horse. The exergue is defined by a series of horizontal lines crossed by vertical bars, forming a ladder-like pattern. |
