| Obverse description | Highly abstracted and schematised head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Celtic curvilinear tradition. The hair is depicted as a wreath with leaves turned inward, accompanied by a cloak and flanking crescent ornaments. A prominent spike projects from the design, bearing a single crescent; the terminal of the spike may be bent to form a distinctive two-pronged hook. The overall style is characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage, with naturalistic Hellenistic prototypes reduced to bold, abstract geometric forms. |
