| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull advancing left in a dynamic posture, with head lowered as if pawing the ground and tail arched upward over the back, rendered in the schematic yet vigorous Celtic artistic style. The animal's musculature is suggested through rounded, stylised forms typical of Catuvellaunian bronze coinage. A branch or plant motif is placed in the lower field beneath the bull. The entire design is contained within a beaded border on the irregular flan, with an open field above. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, and this issue is tied specifically to his use of "VERLAMIO" — a mint signature referencing Verulamium, the oppidum near modern St Albans that served as his tribal capital. The appearance of named mint places on British Celtic coinage is itself significant; most insular issues carry no such geographic attribution. Tasciovanos was likely the father of Cunobelinus, the historical figure behind Shakespeare's Cymbeline, and his reign marked a period of aggressive Catuvellaunian expansion into Trinovantian territory.
