| Reverse description | Reverse displaying a stylized bird, most likely an eagle or corvid, depicted standing and facing left with wings partially spread, rendered in the schematic Gaulish artistic convention. A dotted border or beaded circle frames the central device, a hallmark of Pictones bronze coinage. The field shows additional abstract elements possibly representing a branch or vegetal motif to the right of the bird. The overall design reflects the indigenous Gaulish coinage tradition, blending zoomorphic imagery with decorative geometric elements typical of late La Tène period bronze issues. |
