| Descripción del anverso | Obverse displays a highly stylised and abstracted interpretation of a laureate head, rendered in the characteristic insular Celtic manner derived from earlier Macedonian gold stater prototypes. The design is decomposed into schematic elements: two prominent curved wreath branches occupy the upper field, their internal leaf ends either pointing toward or away from flanking crescent-shaped motifs depending on the die variety. Two pellet-in-annulet devices flank the central motif, serving as the vestigial remnants of the original portrait's facial features. The overall composition is bold and linear, typical of late British Iron Age coin art in the Trinovantian tradition. |

| Descripción del reverso | 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. |

Dubnovellaunos ruled jointly over the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni in the decades following Caesar's British expeditions, and his coins reflect a mint increasingly aware of Roman monetary conventions without fully adopting them. The "Branch A" designation in the Sills classification isolates a specific die grouping within the broader Dubnovellaunos stater series, distinguished by subtle geometric variations that suggest discrete production episodes rather than continuous output.
The Trinovantian heartland around Camulodunum was already shifting toward Roman-influenced trade networks by this period, which may explain the relatively tight weight standard these staters maintain compared to earlier Gallo-Belgic derivatives.
