背面描述	The reverse depicts a horseman advancing to the right, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic style with elongated limbs and summary anatomical detail. The horse is shown in a dynamic trotting or galloping pose, with legs extended and a stylised mane indicated above. A retrograde inscription CVN appears below the horse, running beneath an exergual line that separates the legend from the main field. The composition fills the flan in a manner consistent with other Cunobelin silver units, the irregular coin blank lending the design an organic, hand-struck quality. The reverse type follows the established Catuvellaunian convention of a mounted warrior or rider as a symbol of tribal authority.

附加信息	Cunobelinus — Shakespeare's Cymbeline — ruled from Camulodunum (modern Colchester) and commanded the most powerful tribal confederation in pre-conquest Britain. His coinage is unusually prolific by Iron Age British standards, yet the retrograde inscriptions found on certain silver units like this type remain unexplained: whether scribal error, deliberate workshop convention, or the work of an engraver cutting dies as a mirror image remain open questions among specialists. Van Arsdell catalogued it separately precisely because the retrograde lettering is consistent enough across specimens to rule out simple mistake.
