Reverse description The reverse depicts a winged Victory seated to the left, her figure rendered in a schematic Celtic interpretation of the classical motif, with wings partially spread and arms positioned forward. The figure is set within the open field of the coin, her seat or throne suggested by simplified linear forms beneath her. The inscription TASC F appears in the exergue below the main design, referencing Cunobelin's descent from Tasciovanos. The style is boldly conceived but naively executed, reflecting the synthesis of Mediterranean iconographic influence with native British die-cutting tradition. The patinated bronze surface preserves the essential design elements with clarity despite the coin's worn and corroded state.
