Obverse description Broadly plain, deeply convex flan characteristic of Celtic hammered gold coinage, presenting an essentially blank obverse field — the standard convention for this South Ferriby series. The surface is undecorated and devoid of legend, effigy, or subsidiary motifs, reflecting the highly abstracted artistic tradition of the Corieltauvi tribe. Minor surface irregularities and flow lines are consistent with hand-hammered production on a roughly prepared gold blank.
