| Reverse description | A boar's head facing right dominates the field, rendered in the stylised, schematic manner characteristic of Atrebatic Celtic coinage, with prominent tusks, a pronounced snout, and a bristled crest delineated by short curved lines along the neck. The creature's eye is indicated by a small pellet or incuse point. Below the boar's head, the abbreviated legend TA appears in the exergual area, understood as a dynastic reference to Tasciovanus, father of Epaticcus. The overall composition fills the flan to its limits, consistent with the compact format of Iron Age silver minims. |
