| 正面描述 | Stylised anthropomorphic head facing left, rendered in the characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic artistic tradition. A prominent curved horn rises from the crown, and a large pellet serves as the eye. The hair is depicted in tight, coiled curls arranged across the head. Pellet-in-ring ornaments appear in the field before and behind the head, and a small ring is placed below. The design exhibits the abstracted, energetic quality typical of Catuvellauni coinage of this period. |

| 背面描述 | A stylised annulate goat or stag strides dynamically to the right, its body outlined with a series of rings or annulets in characteristic Celtic decorative style. A flowing, elaborate mane is rendered in sweeping curved lines above the back. A pellet-in-ring motif serves as the eye, with additional pellet-in-ring devices placed above and below the body in the field. A single pellet appears below the animal's head. The overall composition reflects the fluid, abstract naturalism of Catuvellauni metalwork and die-cutting of the mid-first century BC. |

The Whaddon Goat series takes its name from the 1849 Whaddon Chase hoard (Buckinghamshire), which brought a large number of these small silver units to light and established the type in the numismatic record. The Catuvellauni controlled territory roughly centered on modern Hertfordshire and were among the most politically dominant tribes in pre-conquest southeast Britain, a position that likely drove the volume and consistency of their coinage output in the decades before Caesar's expeditions reshaped regional power dynamics.
At just 1.0 g, these units circulated alongside the tribe's quarter staters and represent the fractional end of Catuvellaunian silver currency.
