| 正面描述 | 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. |

| 背面描述 | A stylized horse prancing to the right occupies the central field, rendered in the highly abstracted Celtic artistic idiom with disjointed anatomical elements — the body rendered as a compact mass, the legs depicted as angular, separated strokes, and the head reduced to a schematic form. Above and around the horse are ring ornaments and pellet devices serving as field decorations, characteristic of Tasciovanos-series quarter staters. The retrograde or segmented inscription T-AS-C-I, identifying the issuing authority as Tasciovanos, king of the Catuvellauni, is distributed around the horse in the field. The flan is irregular with an uneven edge consistent with the hand-hammered production technique of late Iron Age British coinage. |

| 附加信息 |
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.
