| Obverse description | Central geometric trefoil design composed of three concave arcs radiating symmetrically from a central ringed pellet, forming a triskelion- or Mercedes-symbol-like motif. Ringed pellets terminate each arc, and a branch or sprig fills each of the three intervening fields between the arcs. The overall composition is boldly geometric and typical of late Icenic Celtic die-cutting conventions, with no inscriptions or legends. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner characteristic of Icenic coinage, with a distinctive small Y-shaped or bifurcated head. A cluster of pellets appears beneath the horse's body, and a horizontal exergual line divides the lower field from the remainder of the design. The overall composition is spare and geometric, with no inscriptions present. |
