| Aversbeschreibung | Stylised Celtic horned head facing left, rendered in abstract curvilinear tradition. The eye is indicated by a large pellet, and the hair is depicted as a series of tight coils or spirals radiating from the crown. Pellet-in-ring ornaments are placed in the field both before and behind the head, serving as decorative or symbolic motifs characteristic of the Whaddon Chase series. A small ring is present in the lower field beneath the neck truncation. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Iron Age staters and their fractions circulated so freely in late pre-Roman Britain that distinguishing official tribal issues from plated copies was likely beyond the concern of most users — the coins traded by weight and trust within local exchange networks, not by any centralised authority capable of enforcement. The Catuvellauni, whose territory dominated much of what is now Hertfordshire and beyond, never ran a mint in the Roman sense; production was distributed, and quality control was nominal at best.
The plating on survivors of this type frequently survives in patches, the bronze core exposed where the silver wash has lifted at the edges — a known characteristic of this specific forgery tradition rather than post-depositional damage.
