| Obverse description | Stylised lunar head facing right, rendered in abstract Celtic manner with a prominent nose and characteristic stalk-form lips, a ring motif serving as the eye; a daisy and ring ornament occasionally appears at the crown of the face. The field behind the head is populated with ring pellets, while crescents and pellet rosettes (daisy motifs) are arranged in front. A cross with pellet-tipped terminals is positioned below the lips, forming a key diagnostic feature of the Cotswold Crosses type. The overall design reflects the debased and schematic artistic vocabulary typical of late pre-Roman Iron Age peripheral or counterfeit production in the Dobunnic region. |
