| Obverse description | Cruciform pattern occupying the central field, composed of radiating lines or pellet-tipped arms dividing the flan into quadrants, a design ultimately derived from the classical wreath motif of earlier Macedonian gold staters as transmitted through Gaulish prototypes. Each quadrant is filled with stylized curvilinear ornaments, including ring or pellet devices, rendered in the highly abstracted La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of late Iron Age Celtic coinage. The overall composition is compact and symmetrical, consistent with the quarter-stater format. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hand-struck British Celtic coinage of this period. No legend or inscription appears on this face. |
