| Reverse description | The reverse presents a boldly executed abstract geometric composition in high relief, centrally dominated by a stylised phallic device flanked by a complex arrangement of rectilinear and angular forms. To the upper left, a fan or solar-rayed motif radiates diagonally across the field, abutting a prominent domed or helmet-shaped projection beneath which two triangular elements suggest a schematised face or torque. The remainder of the field is occupied by a cruciform grid of raised bars forming rectangular and square compartments, with a downward-pointing triangle in the lower right quadrant. The overall design is entirely aniconic and non-inscribed, representing a highly abstracted Celtic geometric vocabulary derived ultimately from Macedonian stater prototypes. |
