Beschrijving keerzijde A warrior, holding a carnyx (Celtic war trumpet), is depicted riding a rounded horse moving to the right, with the horse's tail drooping downward. A five-spoked wheel fills the space behind the horse's hindquarters and above the rider's head, a characteristic motif of British Celtic coinage. The tribal name inscription is disposed around the horse, commencing behind the horse, continuing along the exergual zone beneath, and concluding before the horse's head. A single exergual line runs below the design, beneath which a ring ornament appears.

Aanvullende informatie

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the mid-first century BC into the early first century AD, operating out of Verulamium — modern St Albans — and his coinage represents one of the more prolific and varied series in pre-Roman Britain. The rotated cross and carnyx combination on this stater belongs to a tightly defined die group within Sills's classification, distinguishing it from the broader Tasciovanian output by the specific low-tail treatment and cross orientation, details that indicate a discrete production episode rather than a continuous mint run.

Van Arsdell 1730-05 is among the scarcer die varieties in the series.
