| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised Celtic horse galloping to the right, rendered in an abstract curvilinear manner typical of late Iron Age coinage of southern Britain. The horse's body is decomposed into flowing arcs, pellets, and sinuous forms. Above and around the horse appears the divided royal inscription of the issuing ruler, broken into segments across the field. The legend TINC and O are visible in the upper field, with MA and RVS distributed in the lower and lateral fields, together reading TINCOMARVS. Additional ornamental pellets and linear devices fill the remaining field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tincomarus was a son of Commius — the Atrebatic king who had served Caesar as an envoy before spectacularly defecting during the Gallic Wars. By the time Tincomarus issued this stater, Roman cultural influence was reshaping southern British coinage rapidly, and his issues reflect a ruler consciously positioning himself within the Roman orbit. He was eventually expelled from his kingdom, likely by his brother Eppillus, and fled to Augustus in Rome, a fact recorded in the Res Gestae — making him one of the only British rulers mentioned by name in an imperial document.
