| Reverse description | A stylised horse prancing to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with exaggerated, curvilinear limbs and body segments. The abbreviated royal legend TIC — a contraction of Tincomarus — appears divided above and below the horse, flanking the principal device in the customary Atrebatic manner. Decorative pellets and wave-like linear ornaments fill the surrounding field, consistent with the broader Tincomarus quarter stater series (cf. ABC 1088). The overall striking is crude and poorly centred, reflecting the coin's identification as a contemporary counterfeit produced on a base-metal flan with a superficial gold wash rather than a solid gold alloy. |
