| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised boar facing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition, featuring a distinctive duck-like or beaked snout. A pellet-in-ring ornament is situated below the boar's body, and the exergue is delineated by a corded or rope-pattern line. The field displays the characteristically fluid, non-naturalistic treatment of animal forms typical of Late Iron Age British coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Trinovantes occupied the territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and southern Suffolk, and were among the first British tribes to face Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC directly. Whether this type predates or postdates that contact remains debated, but the tribal coinage of this period reflects a society under acute political pressure — Caesar extracted hostages and tribute, and the Trinovantes' willingness to submit to him was largely a strategic move against their more aggressive neighbors, the Catuvellauni. The "Braughing Dragon" designation comes from the findspot concentration around the Hertfordshire settlement, suggesting cross-tribal distribution or territorial flux along that border.
