| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylised boar facing right, rendered in the characteristic curvilinear Celtic artistic tradition, positioned above a corded exergual line. Two double crescents and a schematic wheel motif occupy the upper field, contributing to the abstract, decorative composition typical of Late Iron Age British coinage. The design elements are boldly struck in relief on the irregular flan, with no inscription or legend present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This tiny denomination belongs to the coinage tradition of the Trinovantes, the tribe Julius Caesar identified as the most powerful in southeastern Britain during his 55 and 54 BC expeditions. Caesar's campaigns disrupted existing power structures dramatically — the Trinovantes actually sought Roman protection against their neighbours the Catuvellauni, making them unusual among British tribes in their early diplomatic engagement with Rome. Whether these fractional silvers were already circulating during that contact, or struck in its immediate aftermath, remains unresolved.
The Puckeridge findspot concentration points to a mint or distribution centre in Hertfordshire, likely near a tribal boundary zone.
