| Obverse description | A nude male figure, depicted in dynamic motion, strides across the field in a hunting pose, with arms outstretched and legs in mid-stride, conveying vigorous movement characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic die-cutting. The figure carries what appears to be a hunting implement or animal, rendered in the energetic, stylised manner typical of Cunobelin's coinage. Partial inscription letters are visible in the field surrounding the figure, forming part of the retrograde or abbreviated royal legend. The die work is bold and deeply impressed, with the irregular flan showing the characteristic lumpiness of hammered Celtic silver units. The overall composition reflects the Continental artistic influences present in the Catuvellauni coinage workshop. |
