| Obverse description | Romanised male head facing right, rendered in a Celto-classical style with laureate or wreath-adorned hair, the effigy exhibiting strong Italic influence consistent with late Iron Age British coinage. The portrait is boldly struck in high relief with stylised facial features. The abbreviated legend TASCIO appears in the field before the face, identifying the issuing ruler Tasciovanus of the Catuvellauni. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, characteristic of hand-struck Celtic bronze coinage of this period. |
