| Obverse description | Highly stylised Celtic lunate head facing right, rendered in the characteristic Dobunnic abstract manner. The facial features display the distinctive OXO pattern, comprising two pellet-in-ring motifs flanking a central incuse X, forming the eyes and nose of the face. The lips are rendered as stalks, and the hair is depicted by triads of small pellets arranged in arcs behind the head. A cross with a pellet-in-ring device appears in the lower field below the chin. The overall treatment is more schematised than related Cotswold Eagle coinage, reflecting the late Iron Age Dobunnic artistic tradition. |
