(Translation: Cunobelin.)
Reverse description A dynamic figure of a horseman advancing to the right, depicted in the energetic, schematic style characteristic of Catuvellaunian coinage. The rider brandishes a short sword in his raised right hand and carries a round shield in his left, conveying a martial theme. Below the horse, the mint abbreviation CAM appears in the exergue, referencing Camulodunum. The horse is rendered with elongated limbs and stylised musculature, reflecting the Celtic artistic conventions of the period. The entire design is struck on an irregular, hand-cut flan consistent with hammered silver units of the Early 1st century AD.
