| Reverse description | Broad, shallow concave incuse field characteristic of Celtic Muschel-type fractional gold coinage, with a pronounced central raised element from which radiating ridges extend toward the flan edges in a schematic, shell-like pattern. The incuse depression is bounded by an irregular raised rim formed naturally by the hammering process. The abstract geometric composition is entirely without inscription or legend, consistent with the non-literate artistic tradition of the Boii tribal coinage of the late La Tène period. |
