| 正面描述 | Facing head rendered in a schematic Celtic style, displaying stylized features characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. The head is depicted frontally with a pronounced brow, summary facial features, and what appears to be a branch or plant motif rising above the crown of the head, possibly representing a wreath or vegetal ornament. A circular annulet device is visible to the left of the head in the field. The overall execution is typical of the provincial Celtic artistic tradition associated with Tasciovanos-period coinage, with bold but abstracted relief. |

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, operating out of Verulamium — modern St Albans — and was almost certainly the father of Cunobelinus, the ruler Shakespeare loosely transformed into Cymbeline. His bronze issues are the workhorse coinage of his reign, struck in volume to serve local exchange at a moment when tribal territories were expanding aggressively into Trinovantian lands to the east. The "Vir" designation in modern cataloguing derives from the abbreviated inscription on the coin, one of several abbreviated forms Tasciovanos used across his prolific output.
Most examples come from controlled metal-detector finds in Hertfordshire and Essex.
