| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised triple-tailed horse advances to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of Dobunnic coinage. The horse's ear is depicted as an ellipse, and its tail is divided into three flowing strands each terminating in a pellet. Beneath the horse, an eight-spoked wheel with a central axle serves as the principal subsidiary symbol. Above the horse's back, a composition comprising a cross, a crescent, and two ringed pellets forms a concealed anthropomorphic face motif. Three large pellets are placed below the tail. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Boduoc ruled the Dobunni — a tribe occupying what is now Gloucestershire and surrounding areas — during a period when Roman political pressure on southern Britain was intensifying without yet becoming outright conquest. His name appears on coinage as one of the clearest examples of Celtic rulers adopting the practice of named issues, likely as a deliberate assertion of individual authority at a time when tribal structures were being tested by proximity to the expanding Roman world. Whether Boduoc was a king, a sub-king, or a dynastic successor within the Dobunni hierarchy remains disputed among scholars.
