| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head in profile, rendered in the abstract curvilinear manner characteristic of Dobunnic coinage of the Corio Head type. The design, heavily degraded on this contemporary counterfeit example, presents schematic facial features executed by an unofficial die-cutter imitating the established Dobunni prototype. The silver plating is largely lost, exposing the base bronze core beneath, resulting in a heavily corroded and poorly defined surface. The flan is irregular and notably small, consistent with a debased imitation struck to circulate alongside official Dobunni issues. No legible inscription or border is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |
