| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised bearded male head facing left, rendered in the native Celtic artistic tradition. The hair and heavy beard are composed entirely of pellets, lending a distinctive granular texture characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage. A cross of pellets is positioned in the field before the face, serving as a decorative and possibly symbolic device. The overall design reflects the abstract, non-naturalistic portraiture typical of Catuvellaunian silver coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly 25 BC into the early first century AD, eventually expanding his authority over Trinovantian territory — a politically fraught move given that the Trinovantes had earlier sought Roman protection against Catuvellauni aggression under his predecessor Cassivellaunus. Whether the joint tribal attribution on this issue reflects genuine political union or simple territorial absorption remains debated among specialists.
The TASC inscription appearing on his coins marks one of the earliest uses of a ruler's name on British Celtic coinage, a Continental practice adopted selectively in the southeast.
