| Obverse description | Obverse field decorated with abstract geometric motifs rendered in the La Tène artistic tradition, featuring a triskele — a three-armed rotational symbol — executed in low relief against a plain silver field. The design incorporates curvilinear elements and pellets, typical of Gaulish Celtic coinage of the Cadurci tribe. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the aniconic coinage of this Gaulish people. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of hand-struck Celtic silver issues. |
