| Reverse description | A caduceus rendered in stylised Celtic fashion occupies the central field, depicted as a staff with intertwined serpents or volutes, the type-defining reverse motif of this issue. To the left of the caduceus the letters CA are visible, with R to the right, divided by the central device. The field is bordered by a partial beaded or dotted border along the periphery of the irregular flan. The design reflects the influence of Roman iconography reinterpreted through late British Iron Age artistic conventions. The flan surface shows characteristic hammered texture consistent with hand-struck Celtic coinage of the early first century AD. |
