| Descrizione del dritto |
Irregular, cast-struck bronze flan exhibiting a heavily patinated surface with green cuprite encrustation. The obverse field displays an abstract Celtic design composed of interlocking curvilinear loops and sinuous lines radiating from a central point, characteristic of the La Tène artistic tradition. The pattern, sometimes described as a 'loopy' motif, is formed by a series of flowing arcs and spirals arranged in a broadly symmetrical composition across the field. No legend or inscription is present on this face. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hand-struck Celtic coinage of the late pre-Roman Iron Age. |

| Descrizione del rovescio |
The reverse field presents a schematically rendered figure, likely a horse or zoomorphic motif in the abstract Celtic tradition, set within a broadly circular field defined by a beaded or pellet border visible in part along the lower periphery. An annulet device appears in the upper right field. The partial legend TASCI (abbreviated as TA(S)CI on the flan) attributing the issue to Tasciovanos, king of the Catuvellauni, is associated with this type, though heavy patination and surface encrustation obscure precise details on this example. The overall style is typical of late British Iron Age coinage produced at Verulamium circa 15–10 BC. |
