| Reverse description | A mounted horseman galloping to the right, depicted in a schematic Celtic style with the rider raising a carnyx — a Celtic war trumpet with an animal-head bell — above his head. The figure and horse are rendered with characteristic Iron Age abstraction, the horse's body and legs reduced to sweeping curved forms. The inscription DVBN appears in the lower exergual field, an abbreviated form of the royal name Dubnovellaunos, identifying the issuing authority. The flan is irregular and the strike moderately flat in areas, consistent with struck bronze coinage of this period and region. |
