| Beschrijving keerzijde | A helmeted sphinx depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in a vigorous Celtic artistic idiom that conflates Classical Mediterranean iconography with native British stylization. The creature's S-shaped tail curves prominently above its haunched body, while spread wings are suggested by bold incised lines emanating from the back. The helmet is rendered with simplified but recognizable crested form. A pellet border encircles the design field, and the flan is of the characteristic small, thick, irregular fabric of Catuvellaunian bronze issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, operating from Verulamium — modern St Albans — and was almost certainly the father of Cunobelin, Shakespeare's Cymbeline. His bronze issues circulated in a region increasingly saturated with Roman trade goods and Gallo-Belgic monetary influence, yet his coinage retained distinctly insular die-cutting traditions. The iconographic pairing catalogued here appears on some of his smallest denominations, struck at a moment when the tribe was consolidating control over former Trinovantian territory following the collapse of that tribe's independent coinage.
