| Obverse description | Stylized Celtic boar facing right, rendered in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition with bold, fluid lines. A prominent pellet decorates the shoulder of the animal, serving as a characteristic design element of this Icenian series. The boar's body is rendered with exaggerated, decorative musculature typical of Celtic coinage, with vestigial features of the original Macedonian prototype now fully absorbed into native artistic convention. The surrounding field is plain and irregular, consistent with the flan preparation techniques of British Iron Age coinage. |
