Gold Stater - Tasciovanos Tasciovanos Tascio

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, making this stater one of the earliest British Celtic coins to carry a ruler's abbreviated name — a shift away from purely abstract designs toward something approaching personal authority. His mint is generally attributed to Verulamium, near modern St Albans, though some scholars have argued for multiple production sites based on die-link analysis. The ABC 2574 classification places this within a specific stylistic group rather than a single emission, and individual examples vary enough in flan preparation to suggest more than one working period.
