| Reverse description | Reverse similarly decorated with an intricate arrangement of curvilinear Celtic motifs, featuring stylized beast forms — the so-called 'Bagendon Beasts' — rendered in the characteristic abstract manner of the Dobunni tribe. Scrollwork, pellets, and interlaced linear elements fill the irregular flan, with no discernible legend or inscription. The design tradition is closely associated with the Bagendon oppidum in East Wiltshire, serving as a regional typological marker for this series of small silver fractional coinage. |
