Beschrijving voorzijde Stylised boar depicted in profile facing right, rendered in the characteristic abstracted Celtic artistic tradition. The animal's body is presented with bold, flowing relief lines suggesting musculature and bristled spine, occupying the majority of the flan. The surrounding field is plain and unadorned, consistent with the minimalist aesthetic of Eastern North Thames coinage. No inscription or legend is present. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hand-struck British Celtic silver units of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

The Trinovantes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and southern Suffolk, and were among the first British tribes to have direct diplomatic contact with Rome — Caesar records them as seeking his protection against the Catuvellauni during his 54 BC expedition. Whether coins of this type were circulating during that negotiation is unknown, but the decade-long date range places production squarely around that encounter.

ABC 2267 is a poorly understood type with limited find-spot data, making provenanced examples genuinely useful to scholarship on Trinovantian mint geography.
