| Obverse description | Highly stylised abstract design in the Celtic tradition, dominated by a pattern of multiple crescents arranged across the field. The crescents vary in size and orientation, creating a dynamic, rhythmic composition typical of late Icenian coinage. Scattered pellets and circular pellet groups fill the interstices between the crescents, adding decorative texture. The overall design derives ultimately from the degraded wreath of earlier Gallo-Belgic prototypes, now fully transformed into an abstract curvilinear arrangement. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, as characteristic of hammered Iron Age coinage. |
