| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner with disjointed, geometric body parts characteristic of British Iron Age coinage. The horse's body is composed of segmented forms with pellet ornaments decorating the field above and below. A large ringed pellet or annulet appears beneath the horse, and additional pellets and a crescent-like form are scattered in the field, serving as decorative space-fillers in the Dobunnic tradition. The overall composition, though schematic, conveys dynamic movement and reflects the artistic conventions derived ultimately from the Philip II stater prototype. No legend appears on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Boduoc is one of the few Dobunnic rulers whose name appears on coinage, suggesting a late pre-conquest move toward named royal authority that mirrors developments among neighboring tribes. The Dobunni, centered in what is now Gloucestershire, were unusual in their apparent willingness to negotiate with Rome — their leading faction reportedly submitted to Aulus Plautius even before the main Claudian advance reached their territory in 43 AD.
The Spink 389 attribution places this firmly in the terminal phase of Dobunnic silver production, a series already characterized by strikingly small flans and pronounced die wear.
