| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cruciform corn-ear wreath design composed of four radiating arms terminating in annulets, forming a cross-like arrangement around a central beaded ring enclosing a single pellet. A four-pointed beaded star occupies the interstices of the wreath, with additional annulets flanking each of the four wreath terminals. The overall composition is geometric and stylised, consistent with Late Iron Age British Celtic die-cutting conventions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of late Republican denarii are well documented, but plated forgeries at this weight — barely half a gram — suggest the core was shaved or cast thin deliberately, not simply a worn survivor. The "Large Flan B" classification points to a specific die grouping within the Corn Star series, a type attributed to the Caesarian military mint active during the dictator's final campaigns and the chaotic interregnum that followed his assassination in 44 BC.
Subaerate production of this type was likely local, made to pass among troops or provincial populations unfamiliar with official weight standards.
