| Obverse description | The obverse bears a distinctive Celtic abstract design composed of a central double-crescent or D-bar motif, with two opposed crescents flanking a central pellet, all contained within a beaded or plain border. Decorative pellets are arranged in the field above, below, and to the sides of the central device, with additional small linear or leaf-like ornaments in the lower segment. The composition is characteristic of the Icenian silver unit series, rendered in a schematic, non-figural Celtic artistic style. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with contemporary counterfeit production using a base bronze core. Surface patination reveals the bronze substrate beneath the degraded silver plating. |
