| Reverse description | A griffin depicted in a recumbent or crouching posture facing right, rendered with fine detail including a prominently crested head, beaded mane, and swept wings with incised linear feathering extending upward across the field. The creature's leonine body is compactly modelled, with forelegs extended forward resting upon a horizontal groundline. Below the groundline, a rectangular tablet contains the mint abbreviation CAMV, referring to Camulodunum. The treatment of the griffin reflects strong classical Hellenistic iconographic influence filtered through late British Iron Age artistic sensibility, typical of Cunobelinian silver coinage. |
