| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing male head rendered in a bold, schematic Celtic artistic style, depicted full-face and centrally positioned within the flan. The visage displays prominent almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and a well-defined beard and moustache rendered with stylised pellet or linear detailing. The hair is indicated by a series of raised curved striations framing the face around the periphery of the flan, giving the impression of a radiate or tousled coiffure. The overall treatment reflects the distinctive La Tène-influenced die-cutting tradition of late Iron Age Britain, with strong, simplified forms conveying a powerful, almost mask-like frontality. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cunobelin ruled from Camulodunum — modern Colchester — for roughly four decades, longer than any other recorded Late Iron Age king in Britain. His authority over both the Catuvellauni and Trinovantes represented an unusual consolidation of rival tribal territories, and it was almost certainly his growing dominance that prompted Strabo and later classical writers to treat southern Britain as a coherent political entity worth noting. Shakespeare's Cymbeline is a garbled echo of him.
Small bronze units of this type circulated as low-denomination everyday coinage, the kind of issue that passed through markets and toll points rather than treasuries. Die alignment on these is frequently inconsistent — a structural feature of the series, not individual wear.
