| Obverse description | Stylised male head facing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic tradition. The large, prominent oval eye dominates the face, while the hair is depicted as a herringbone pattern of two plain parallel lines curving in the manner of a corn ear. Thin crescent forms appear above the head in the field, characteristic of Icenian die engraving. The overall treatment is schematic rather than naturalistic, reflecting the established artistic conventions of the late Iron Age Iceni coinage. |
