| Obverse description | Schematised Celtic horseman depicted in left-facing profile, the rider rendered in a highly stylised, abstracted manner characteristic of Late Iron Age British Celtic coinage. The horse is shown in full gallop, its legs extended fore and aft, with the overall composition executed in low relief on an irregularly flan. Ancillary pellet or linear ornaments may appear in the field surrounding the central motif. The design derives ultimately from Macedonian prototype coinage but is substantially reinterpreted through native Celtic artistic convention. |
