| Reverse description | The reverse displays a boldly rendered composition in the La Tène abstract style, featuring a stylised oak branch with visible foliage rendered as angular, deeply struck forms across the upper field. A curved sickle-like element occupies the central area, flanked by multiple annulets and pellet-in-ring motifs scattered across the field, elements characteristic of Morini tribal coinage. The design is executed with confident, deeply incuse hammer strokes producing a high-relief, plastic effect typical of Belgic goldsmithing. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the anepigraphic nature of this tribal issue. The flan is irregular in shape with a slightly ragged edge, as is typical of hand-struck Celtic gold coinage of this period. |
