| Reverse description | Stylised boar's head depicted in profile, rendered in the abstract, curvilinear manner typical of Late Iron Age Celtic coinage of the Atrebates. The design features schematic linear elements representing the snout, bristles, and facial features of the boar, executed with bold, deeply cut strokes on the irregular hammered flan. The abbreviated legend CV, referencing Cunobelin or a mint/workshop designation, appears in the field. The overall composition reflects the miniaturised artistic conventions of the minim denomination, where naturalistic detail is reduced to bold symbolic forms. |
