正面描述 Stylised Celtic head facing left, rendered in the characteristic Late Iron Age abstract idiom. The hair is depicted as a series of elaborately braided and corded strands arranged in tight, beaded rows emanating from the crown, filling much of the field. Facial features are summarily indicated, with a prominent rounded cheek, suggested eye, and a curved line denoting the chin or neck below. The overall treatment is decorative and schematic rather than naturalistic, consistent with the Catuvellaunian artistic tradition of the period.

背面描述 A stylised long-horned equine quadruped, likely representing a horse or fantastical horned horse, advances to the right in a stepping pose with legs clearly articulated. Above the animal a bucranium (ox-skull) motif is placed prominently in the upper field. A solar or wheel motif appears below the animal's body, while a trefoil device is positioned behind the hindquarters. The composition is rendered in the abstract Celtic manner, with decorative pellets and linear elements filling the surrounding field.

附加信息

Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from around 20 BC and was almost certainly the father of Cunobelin — Shakespeare's Cymbeline. His coins are among the earliest British issues to carry a named ruler's inscription, a shift from the anonymous geometric types that preceded them, and one that almost certainly reflects contact with Roman coinage conventions filtering through Gaul before the Claudian invasion was even a distant prospect.
