| Obverse description | Plain gold field bearing the retrograde or forward-facing Latin legend COMF within a recessed rectangular tablet or linear frame, the lettering bold and deeply incuse in characteristically Celtic epigraphy. The border is formed by a beaded or pellet-dotted rim following the irregular flan edge. The inscription COMF is an abbreviation for Commii Filius, meaning 'Son of Commius', denoting Tincomarus's royal lineage. The die-work is robust and direct, typical of late Iron Age British coin production under Roman epigraphic influence. The flan is slightly irregular and shows characteristic hammered surface texture. |
