| Obverse description | Highly stylised Celtic wreath motif rendered in the La Tène decorative tradition, composed of a prominent outlined crescent form occupying the upper left field, with a concentric ringed pellet at its terminal. Multiple parallel raised lines traverse the lower field, representing the degraded wreath strands, accompanied by scattered pellets and subsidiary crescent ornaments throughout. The design is entirely aniconic and devoid of inscription, characteristic of early British Celtic coinage derived from Macedonian prototypes. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction typical of Southern British quarter stater coinage of the late first century BC. |
