| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse prances to the left, rendered in the schematic Celtic manner with an elongated body, articulated limbs, and a flowing tail. A bucranium — an ox skull motif — is positioned above the horse in the upper field, serving as a distinctive tribal symbol associated with Tasciovanos. The abbreviated royal inscription TAS appears below and behind the horse, identifying the issuing ruler. The overall composition is compact and energetic, consistent with the Late Iron Age Catuvellaunian coinage tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from their capital at Verulamium — modern St Albans — during a period of acute political pressure from Roman-aligned client kingdoms to the south. His coins bearing the VERLAMIO mint signature are notable precisely because they confirm Verulamium as an operational mint site, one of the earliest epigraphically confirmed in pre-Roman Britain. The quarter stater denomination was almost certainly used for elite gift exchange and inter-tribal transactions rather than everyday commerce; the weight makes change-making impractical at any market scale.
ABC 2598 is among the scarcer Tasciovanic fractions.
