| Obverse lettering | TASCIO |
| Reverse description | A lion passant or walking right with head turned to face the viewer, depicted in a vigorous and stylised Celtic artistic manner with exaggerated musculature. The abbreviated legend TASCIO appears in the field before and above the animal, attributing the issue to Tasciovanus. A straight exergual line is present beneath the lion, dividing the main field from the lower margin of the flan. The composition reflects the strong Roman artistic influence adopted by Catuvellaunian rulers of the late first century BC. |
