| Obverse description | A stylised boar rendered in the Celtic La Tène artistic tradition, depicted in profile facing left with a prominently incised spinal crest rendered as a series of short vertical strokes. The animal's body is compactly formed with characteristic Celtic abstraction. Surrounding the boar are decorative Celtic ring ornaments and crescentic motifs distributed across the field, including a large ringed pellet to the upper left and a spiral terminal to the lower right, all typical of Icenian artistic convention. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the characteristic flow lines of hammered Celtic silver production. |
