| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylised Celtic trophy or anthropomorphic design in bold relief, derived from a highly abstracted classical prototype. The upper field bears three pellets or annulets arranged across the flan, while the central area is dominated by two large concentric-ring roundels flanking a smaller spiral motif, all suggestive of a face or helmet. The lower portion of the field displays three wheel or star-shaped ornaments with radiating spokes and central pellets, separated by a foliate or branch-like dividing element. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or rope-twist border. The field is unlettered, consistent with pre-dynastic Trinovantian coinage of the mid-first century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Trinovantes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and southern Suffolk, and were among the more powerful tribes in pre-Conquest Britain — Julius Caesar named them specifically in his account of the 54 BC invasion, noting their submission and requesting grain supplies for his legions. The decades immediately following that expedition saw significant political turbulence as tribal hierarchies reorganized under Roman diplomatic pressure, and the fractional gold issues of this period likely reflect both local elite gift exchange and tribute payment rather than anything resembling retail commerce.
The "Mack#38 var." designation signals this piece diverges from the core type in some respect — whether die axis, pellet arrangement, or flan preparation — without warranting its own ABC number.
