Obverse description Highly stylised, abstracted depiction of a boar occupying the central field, rendered in the characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic artistic idiom. The animal's dorsal ridge is surmounted by a prominent row of pin-cushion bristles, depicted as a raised, knobbed crest running along the spine. The body is rendered as a series of flowing, curvilinear relief forms, with limbs suggested by incised lines and pellet ornaments scattered across the field. The flan is irregularly shaped and slightly concave, consistent with the scyphate fabric typical of this Corieltauvian series. No legend or inscription is present.
