| Reverse description | A stylised horse stepping or prancing to the left, depicted in the distinctive schematic Celtic manner with segmented body and angular limbs. The field surrounding the horse is filled with decorative pellets and abstract motifs typical of late Iron Age British coinage. The abbreviated legend VIR appears above the horse, referencing the mint or dynastic epithet Verlamion. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, consistent with hand-struck Celtic silver coinage of this period. |
