| Obverse description | A stylised boar facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic abstract idiom of the Iceni tradition. The animal is depicted with a prominent arched back and exaggerated bristles along the spine, conveying power through simplified curvilinear forms. A crescent motif appears in the lower left field, accompanied by a pellet below the boar's body. Additional pellets are scattered in the field around the figure. The whole design is set within a beaded or rope-pattern border typical of late Iron Age British coinage. |

| Reverse description | A stylised horse prancing to the right, depicted in the schematic Celtic artistic style characteristic of Iceni silver coinage. The horse's body is rendered with bold, simplified lines, and a decorative element resembling a flower or rosette appears above the animal. Pellets are distributed across the field in triadic groupings, consistent with the designation of this issue as the Triadic type. A curved linear motif is visible beneath the horse, and the overall composition fills the flan in a lively, abstracted manner within an irregular border. |
