| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised Pegasus depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in the abstracted Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of southern British Iron Age coinage. The winged horse is shown in a prancing or galloping posture, with prominent wing plumage rendered as radiating lines above the body. A beaded border partially encircles the design. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with the hand-hammered production technique of this late pre-Roman British series. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Caratacus — son of Cunobelin, the king Shakespeare immortalized as Cymbeline — issued coins during the Roman invasion itself, a window of perhaps eight years between Claudius's landing in 43 AD and Caratacus's eventual capture and surrender to Rome in 51 AD. That his coinage continued at all during active military resistance speaks to how resilient tribal mint operations were even under occupation pressure.
The minim denomination served small-scale exchange at the margins of the tribal economy. At 0.3g, these were among the smallest struck coins in Iron Age Britain, and attrition rates were brutal — losses to soil are permanent at this size.
