| Reverse description | A Pegasus — the winged horse — depicted in vigorous motion, rendered in the energetic, stylised Celtic manner with exaggerated musculature and abstracted limbs typical of late Iron Age British coinage. The wings are indicated by sweeping curved lines rising from the withers, and pellet ornaments appear in the field as subsidiary decorative elements. The mint signature VER or VIR appears in the field in Latin characters, denoting the mint at Verlamion (modern St Albans). The overall composition fills the irregularly shaped flan, with the device executed in bold, confident relief consistent with hammered Celtic bronze coinage of the late first century BC. |
