| Obverse description | Stylised head facing right, rendered in the Celtic abstract tradition, with distinctive curly or pellet-formed hair rendered as a series of tightly coiled locks or boss-like protrusions. The effigy is encircled by a border of annulets and pellets arranged concentrically around the design, filling the field with characteristic La Tène decorative motifs. The facial features are schematically indicated, with the overall composition exhibiting the bold, abstracted treatment typical of late Iron Age Cantian coinage. |
