| Aversbeschreibung | Central tablet bearing the inscription RVIIS, flanked by a ring motif above and below. The design is enclosed within a double-ring border with hatching or beaded ornament in the intervening space, forming a decorative bezel around the edge of the flan. The overall composition is characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic epigraphy, with the legend rendered in a stylised Latin script. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A griffin depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in the dynamic, abstracted style typical of Late Iron Age Celtic coinage. The creature's body is shown with naturalistic musculature, its wings suggested by flowing curved lines rising from the back. A horizontal ground line divides the field, below which a pellet triad is placed beneath the figure. The design fills the flan with characteristic Celtic artistic energy, with details in the field rendered as pellets and curved linear elements. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Catuvellauni under Cunobelin — the historical figure behind Shakespeare's Cymbeline — controlled much of southeastern Britain in this period, having absorbed the Trinovantes after displacing their leadership at Camulodunum (modern Colchester). This small bronze circulated within that consolidating power base, likely serving local market exchange rather than tribute or prestige functions. The ABC 2757 classification places it within a tightly defined typological group; Van Arsdell's sequencing suggests production concentrated in the years immediately following Cunobelin's assumption of control over Trinovantian territory.
