| 正面描述 | Facing head of Cernunnos, the Celtic antlered deity, rendered in bold Iron Age style filling the entire flan. The face is depicted full-frontal with strongly modelled features including almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, and a closed mouth. Above the head, a curved torc or horned headdress with prominent rounded boss pellets is visible, flanked by scrolling hair rendered as raised rope-like ridges. The treatment of the face reflects the characteristic Celtic adaptation of classical Hellenistic portraiture into an abstracted, powerful local idiom. |

| 背面描述 | A stylised horse or animal figure occupies the central field, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner with sinuous, flowing limbs and a prominent central pellet-in-annulet motif. Curvilinear ornamental motifs, including wave-like lines and scroll devices, surround the principal figure in the field. Above the design, the abbreviated royal legend TIN C is inscribed in bold, somewhat irregular Latin letters, identifying the issuing authority as Tincomarus, king of the Atrebates. The overall composition reflects the highly stylised late Iron Age Celtic coinage tradition, drawing on earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes while incorporating the ruler's name in the emerging epigraphic practice of southern British coinage. |

Tincomarus was a son of Commius — the Atrebatic chieftain who had served Caesar as an envoy before famously turning against him — and his coinage reflects a ruler navigating the growing shadow of Rome with deliberate calculation. He was eventually expelled from his kingdom, almost certainly by his brother Eppillus, and sought refuge with Augustus himself; his name appears in the Res Gestae among the foreign princes who came as suppliants to Rome.
The Cernunnos type sits within a small, tightly defined emission. ABC 1109 is notably scarce compared to other Tincomarus silver issues.
