| Reverse description | A lion is depicted striding to the left, rendered in the schematic, abstracted style characteristic of Cantian Late Iron Age coinage. Below the lion, the abbreviated royal legend DVBN is enclosed within a recessed rectangular box or tablet, a distinctive feature identifying this type. The relief is moderately bold, and the design fills the irregularly shaped flan. The overall composition reflects the influence of continental Celtic coinage adapted to local Kentish iconographic traditions. |
