| Obverse description | Laureate, beardless head facing left, rendered in the fluid, stylised Celtic manner with exaggerated curvilinear features. The inscription DVBNO appears in the field before the face, identifying the issuing authority Dubnovellaunos. The facial relief is bold, with the hair and laurel wreath dissolving into sinuous Celtic scroll-work typical of the late Iron Age Cantian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A leaping Pegasus depicted in profile to the right, adorned with a necklace and belt rendered in characteristic Celtic decorative style. The winged horse springs over a cross-hatched net motif in the lower field, with a pellet positioned below the neck. Asterisk ornaments appear above and below the central figure, and a pellet-in-ring motif is placed behind the horse, filling the reverse field in a balanced yet distinctly Celtic compositional arrangement. |
