| Obverse description | Essentially plain and uninscribed, the convex field retains highly vestigial traces of a crossed-wreath design derived ultimately from the Macedonian stater prototype. Three faint curved lines traverse the field, representing the highly abstracted and degenerate remnants of the laurel wreath motif common to earlier British Celtic gold coinage. The surface is devoid of any legend, inscription, or border, consistent with the anepigraphic tradition of Icenian coinage of this period. |
