| Obverse description | Central saltire superimposed over a cross motif within a square frame, the whole enclosed by a beaded circle set within a sinuous serpentine outer border. The geometric design is rendered in a characteristically schematic Celtic style, with the angular interlocking elements occupying the full flan. The irregular, hand-struck flan imparts an uneven relief typical of contemporary Celtic imitative coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylised, rotund boar advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition with exaggerated body proportions and schematic limbs. The tribal inscription CAT appears in the lower field below the boar, serving as an abbreviated tribal attribution to the Catuvellauni. The design is contained within a beaded border following the irregular outline of the flan, consistent with the struck characteristics of a contemporary counterfeit unit. |
