| Obverse description | Highly stylised and abstracted design derived from a Classical wreath motif, rendered in the fluid, curvilinear manner characteristic of Late Iron Age Brittonic coinage. The field is dominated by intertwining sinuous lines representing a wreath or foliage, accompanied by a prominent crescent form in the lower portion and draped cloak-like elements. The composition fills the irregular flan with energetic, swirling relief typical of the Norfolk wolf series. |

| Reverse description | A stylised wolf striding to the right with jaws agape, rendered in the bold, abstracted manner characteristic of Norfolk wolf-type staters. A small bird is depicted perched upon the wolf's back. Above the wolf, a scattered arrangement of pellets and ring-pellets fills the upper field. The legs and body of the wolf are indicated by strongly geometric, angular forms, creating a striking and immediately recognisable design within the Celtic artistic tradition. |
