| Additional information |
Andoco is one of several poorly-documented rulers associated with the Catuvellauni in the late pre-Roman period, appearing on coinage but absent from any written record. His exact relationship to Tasciovanus — the dominant issuing authority of the region at the time — remains unresolved, with some scholars treating him as a subordinate or regional governor rather than an independent king. The "Cow and Calf" type is sufficiently distinctive to suggest a deliberate regional or functional distinction, possibly tied to a specific territory or authority within the tribal structure, though no consensus exists.
