| Reverse description | A Capricorn — the mythological sea-goat with the foreparts of a goat and the tail of a fish — depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic style. The creature's body is prominently formed with visible scaled or beaded detailing along its hindquarters. The abbreviated legend CVNO, referencing the issuing king Cunobelin, appears in the lower field below the creature. A beaded border runs along the coin's periphery. The overall composition reflects influence from Roman iconography adapted through a native British artistic idiom. |
