Gold 1/4 Stater - Tasciovanos Rings Horse Right

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, issuing a notably diverse coinage that marks one of the earliest uses of a named ruler on British Celtic coins. The rings-and-horse type is among the smaller fractional issues produced under his authority, almost certainly serving intra-tribal exchange rather than any wider regional economy. No Roman monetary policy drove its production — this predates meaningful Roman administrative reach into the territory north of the Thames.

Sills 528 is a tight variety within a scarce series. Die linkage studies suggest very low output runs for the fractional gold issues of this reign.
