| Obverse description | Stylised bearded male head facing left, rendered in characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic artistic style with flowing, striated hair extending behind the head. The facial features are boldly modelled with a pronounced brow and a round pellet eye. A cluster of pellets decorates the area beneath the chin, possibly representing a beard or torc ornament. The field is bordered by an interlaced or cable pattern, and the initial letter 'A' appears in the field, serving as an abbreviated royal identifier. |

| Reverse description | A Pegasus depicted in energetic motion to the left, its body compact and powerfully rendered in the abstract Celtic tradition. The wings are shown as a fan of elongated lines terminating in pellets above the creature's back, and a prominent torc or collar ornament encircles the neck. The legend ANDOCO is disposed around the figure in the field, identifying the issuing ruler. Pellets and ring-and-dot motifs appear in the field as decorative elements, typical of Catuvellaunian coinage of the late pre-Roman period. |
