| Reverse description | A highly abstracted hippocampus rendered in the Celtic triskeles convention, facing right. The creature's body is dissolved into three sweeping curvilinear arms radiating from a central point, evoking both the mythological sea-horse and the rotational triskeles motif characteristic of La Tène decorative art. The limbs and tail are suggested by bold, flowing relief curves that fill the irregular flan. No legend or exergual inscription is present. The design reflects the progressive Celticization of the Classical hippocampus type by Aeduan die-cutters. |
