| Beschrijving voorzijde | Romanised bare head facing right, rendered in a Celto-Roman artistic style reflective of late Iron Age British coinage under Mediterranean influence. The legend TAS appears in Latin characters before the face, serving as an abbreviated dynastic inscription identifying the issuing authority Tasciovanos. The design is contained within a double border comprising both a plain inner ring and an outer corded border, a characteristic decorative treatment found on Catuvellaunian bronze issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, operating out of Verulamium — present-day St Albans — and his coinage marks one of the earliest sustained series of struck bronze from the British Iron Age. Most Celtic British bronze at this period was cast rather than struck, which makes the Tasciovanan struck series technically unusual for its time and place. The TAS abbreviation appearing on issues attributed to him is among the earliest examples of a ruler's abbreviated name used as a mint or issuing authority signature in pre-Roman Britain.
