| Reverse description | Highly stylised Celtic horse prancing to right, executed in the abstract disjointed manner characteristic of Icenian coinage. The foreleg at upper left is doubled, and the front hooves are depicted curled inward. The horse's head is solid and compact, with a beaded mane rendered as a series of pellets. Above the horse, a prominent ring of pellets, a pellet boss, and a phallus symbol are arranged in the field, the latter being a motif associated with fertility or apotropaic significance in Iron Age numismatic iconography. |
