| Obverse description | A ram-headed serpent depicted in a tight coil occupies the central field, its body forming concentric spiral rings characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic artistic convention. The creature's ram head is rendered in schematic relief at the centre of the coil. The design is enclosed within a beaded or rope-twist border following the irregular flan edge, typical of Cunobeline's bronze coinage. The overall composition is rendered in low relief with a patinated green-brown bronze surface. No legend appears on this face. |
