| Reverse description | Reverse depicts a stylised horse prancing to the right in the characteristic British Celtic artistic tradition, with a sinuous, mane rendered as a series of raised pellets or crested spines along the neck. A large annulet with central pellet appears in the upper field above the horse's back, and a curved exergual line with pellets and a crescent motif occupies the lower field below the horse. The Latin legend, reading DVRNOVALLAVNOS or DRVNOVILANO depending on the die variety, is disposed around the periphery of the field, representing one of the earliest uses of a ruler's name in Roman lettering on British Celtic coinage. Scattered pellets and linear devices fill the field in typical Trinovantian decorative fashion. |
