Reverse description A disjointed horse presented in left profile, executed in the highly stylised, fragmented manner typical of Late Iron Age British silver coinage derived from Macedonian prototypes. The tail is rendered as a prominent feather or leaf-shaped terminal, a distinctive diagnostic feature of this type. A large spoked wheel symbol is placed beneath the horse's body, while the surrounding field is filled with scattered pellets and annulets serving as decorative fill elements. No legend or inscription is present, and the design covers the irregular flan without border ornamentation.
