| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Dobunnic coinage were not clandestine operations in any modern sense — base-metal plated pieces circulated alongside official issues and were likely tolerated, or even produced, within the tribal economy. The Cotswold Crosses / Catti Head series dates to the final decade before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD, a period when Dobunnic political authority was fracturing under pressure from the expanding Catuvellauni. Some northern Dobunnic leaders had already submitted to Catuvellauni dominance before Roman boots touched British soil.
The plating on survivors is typically thin and frequently flaked, exposing the bronze core — which is precisely how most are identified in the hand rather than by weight alone.
