Obverse description Highly stylised and abstracted head of a stork facing left, rendered in the characteristic La Tène Celtic tradition. The design is composed of bold, sweeping lines suggesting the elongated bill and rounded cranium of the bird, with minimal but confident engraving strokes. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, as typical of hand-struck Celtic silver units. The field is otherwise plain, with no inscription or border. The overall composition reflects the idiosyncratic artistic vocabulary of the Corieltauvi die-engravers.
