| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a horseman advancing to the right, rendered in the vigorous and schematic style characteristic of late Catuvellaunian silver coinage. The rider sits astride a galloping horse, with the figure's body shown in outline relief against a granular field. Below the horse, the partial legend CVNO is visible in the exergue, serving as an abbreviated royal identifier. Pellets and decorative elements occupy the surrounding field, consistent with the artistic conventions of Cunobelin's silver unit series. The overall composition reflects a deliberate engagement with Roman provincial numismatic imagery, adapted through a distinctly Celtic aesthetic sensibility. |
