Reverse description The reverse depicts a hunting dog passant to the left, rendered in the schematic yet expressive style characteristic of late British Iron Age coinage. The animal is shown in profile with distinct body contours, legs extended in motion, and a curling tail. Below the dog, the mint abbreviation CAM appears in Latin letters, referencing Camulodunum, the royal mint of Cunobelin. The overall design reflects the influence of classical iconography filtered through native Celtic artistic conventions. The flan is irregular and the field is otherwise plain.
