| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised Celtic horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstract curvilinear idiom characteristic of late Iron Age British gold coinage derived from Philip II Macedonian prototype staters. The horse's body is composed of bold, sweeping curves with a prominently arched neck and flowing mane dissolving into spiraliform ornament. A large pellet-in-ring motif occupies the lower field, accompanied by additional pellets and curvilinear subsidiary devices scattered throughout. Above the horse, disjointed crescentic and scrolling elements represent the highly abstracted remains of the original wreath and charioteer figure. No legend is present, consistent with uninscribed Trinovantian issues of this type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Trinovantes occupied what is now Essex and southern Suffolk, and were among the more politically complex tribes of late pre-Roman Britain — alternately resisting and accommodating Roman influence during Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. Coins of this type were almost certainly produced in the generation immediately following that contact, when tribal coinage in Britain was shifting from purely abstract designs toward forms influenced, however loosely, by Mediterranean monetary practices.
The "pellet ring" designation in Sills' classification refers to a specific die characteristic used to distinguish sub-types within a broader stater series, not a design category in the popular sense.
