| Aversbeschreibung | Blank convex field devoid of explicit imagery, exhibiting a characteristic domed or biconvex profile typical of Celtic quarter stater flans. A single raised transverse band bisects the centre of the flan horizontally, a residual abstract element derived ultimately from the wreathed head of earlier Macedonian prototypes. The surface displays the irregular, granular texture consistent with hammered gold coinage of Late Iron Age Britain. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised horse prancing to the right, rendered in the dynamic abstract manner characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic coinage. A pellet is placed beneath the horse's neck, and a prominent pellet-in-ring motif appears above the animal, accompanied by three additional pellets in the field. A pentagram, the defining type feature of this Dubnovellaunos issue, is positioned below the horse. The horse is depicted wearing a necklace or torc, a motif common to Cantian coinage of this period. |

Dubnovellaunos ruled across what is now Kent and Essex in the late 1st century BC, a period when Kentish chieftains were actively cultivating trade ties with the Roman world. His name appears on coins in a Romanized form — a pointed concession to Mediterranean diplomatic convention that distinguishes his issues from the anonymous tribal coinage that preceded them. The named coinage of southeastern Britain in this period is closely tied to the political turbulence following Caesar's expeditions, with tribal leaders positioning themselves carefully between Roman influence and older Gaulish networks.
