| Reverse description | A bull strides vigorously to the right, depicted in the energetic, stylised manner typical of Catuvellaunian bronze coinage of the late first century BC. The animal's musculature is rendered with curved, emphatic lines, and the tail curves upward before extending to the right above the hindquarters. Scattered pellets appear in the field around the bull, serving as decorative fill elements in the Celtic numismatic tradition. A horizontal exergual line runs beneath the figure, delineating the ground plane. The overall composition reflects the confident, abstracted naturalism characteristic of Tasciovanos-period issues. |
