| Reverse description | A stylised horse advancing to the left, rendered in the highly abstracted Celtic artistic idiom, with exaggerated large hooves and a prominent bushy tail fanning outward. A bird is depicted above the horse, its form reduced to schematic outline as is conventional on Cantian issues. A small boar appears below the horse, a recurrent symbol on coins of the Cantii tribe. The overall composition reflects the dynamic, disjointed anatomy typical of Late Iron Age British silver coinage. |
