| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse or possible seahorse represented in the characteristic abstract Celtic artistic tradition, depicted moving to the left. The zoomorphic figure is rendered with the simplified, schematic line-work typical of Late Iron Age Catuvellauni bronzes, with body elements reduced to bold curves and linear forms. The field is otherwise plain, with the irregular flan edges and patchy green patination consistent with the coin's age and archaeological context. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, operating out of Verulamium — modern St Albans — and was almost certainly the father of Cunobelin, Shakespeare's Cymbeline. His bronze issues were local, low-denomination currency circulating within tribal territory at a moment when Roman commercial influence was reshaping British coinage conventions without yet imposing direct political control. The "half horse" types are among the smaller bronzes in his series, and ABC 2703 specifically is scarce in any condition.
