| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from their capital at Verulamium — modern St Albans — and was likely the father of Cunobelin, Shakespeare's Cymbeline. The "Loopy" designation refers to a specific die variety distinguished by its ornamental loop motif, a classification used to separate what are otherwise closely related bronzes within an already tightly clustered series. These small bronzes circulated in the decades immediately preceding serious Roman commercial penetration of southeastern Britain, a region Augustus was watching carefully without yet committing to conquest.
