| Obverse description | Stylised Celtic head rendered in the characteristic curvilinear La Tène artistic tradition, facing right, with flowing abstract hair strands dissolving into swirling decorative elements across the field. The design reflects the heavily abstracted idiom typical of late Iron Age British coinage, where naturalistic features are reduced to schematic arcs, pellets, and sinuous lines. The legend EPPI C F is disposed around the design, referencing the issuer Eppillus, son of Commios. The flan is irregular and struck on a relatively thin bronze planchet, with natural green patination obscuring some of the finer die detail. |
