| Obverse description | A stylised corn ear rendered in the Celtic tradition, comprising six pairs of grain pellets arranged symmetrically along a central axis without a continuous stalk.

The composition springs from an ornate, decorated stalk base, reflecting the highly abstracted vegetal imagery characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic coinage. The overall design is executed in a bold, abstract register typical of Cunobelinine issues. |
