Beschrijving voorzijde Stylised abstract head facing right, rendered in the Celtic artistic tradition. The lips are depicted as a stalk motif, and the chin bears a cross-in-ring ornament. The hair is composed of pelleted crescents arranged in a decorative pattern characteristic of Dobunnic coinage. The overall design reflects the highly schematised, non-naturalistic portraiture typical of Late Iron Age British struck silver coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on what is now Gloucestershire, and their coinage developed largely in isolation from the more politically volatile tribes to the southeast. This particular class sits within a typological sequence that numismatists have used to map the tribe's internal dynastic transitions — the classification into subgroups was substantially refined by Van Arsdell in 1989, replacing earlier Mack attributions that had conflated distinct die families. At roughly a gram, these units circulated as functional silver, not prestige objects.

No ruler name appears on this class — the named Dobunnic series comes later, with issues attributed to rulers such as Anted and Eisu.
