| Beschrijving keerzijde | A spirited horse is depicted rearing or galloping to the right, rendered in the dynamic, stylised manner characteristic of late British Iron Age coinage. The musculature and mane of the animal are rendered with expressive Celtic exaggeration, with the limbs splayed in animated motion. A prominent crescent symbol appears above the horse in the upper field, a defining feature of this Classic Crescent type. The abbreviated royal name legend CVNO appears in Roman capitals below the horse, set upon a ground line with additional pellet or decorative elements beneath. The composition is contained within an irregularly shaped flan typical of hammered Celtic gold staters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cunobelin ruled from Camulodunum — modern Colchester — for roughly four decades, the longest reign of any pre-Roman British king on record. Shakespeare's Cymbeline is a loose derivation of his name, though the dramatic liberties taken bear no resemblance to the archaeological picture. His coinage is notable for being among the first in Britain to carry a ruler's name consistently across multiple types, suggesting a deliberate administrative ambition.
The crescent type is one of several distinct series attributed to his later output, likely produced in the decade immediately before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD effectively ended independent Catuvellaunian coin production.
