| Reverse description | Highly abstracted representation of an eagle, derived from the Cotswold Eagle type associated with the Dobunni tribal coinage. The design is rendered in a degenerate, schematic style typical of a Class B contemporary counterfeit, with faint traces of the bird motif discernible amid heavy corrosion and surface degradation. The silver plating is almost entirely absent, revealing the base bronze core throughout. The flan edges are irregular and the strike is poorly centred, consistent with unofficial production. No border, pellets, or subsidiary ornamental elements are clearly identifiable. |
