| Reverse description | A highly stylised and disjointed horse progressing to the left, rendered with schematic stick-form legs in the characteristic late Iron Age British manner. A large cluster of multiple pellets is scattered across the field above the horse, with an additional single pellet positioned beneath the animal's body. The overall composition is fragmented and abstracted, consistent with the debased artistic tradition of contemporary counterfeit issues of the Westerham type, the design derived from the original Macedonian gold stater reverse chariot motif now wholly transformed. |
