| Obverse description | Abstract wreath design composed of crossed vertical and horizontal branches forming four quarters, with opposed crescents at the central intersection. Each quarter contains annulets and foliate sprays arranged to suggest anthropomorphic or zoomorphic hidden faces, a hallmark of late Iron Age Celtic coin artistry. The overall composition is highly stylised, derived ultimately from the classical wreath motif transmitted through Macedonian prototypes, yet thoroughly transformed into a distinctly Catuvellaunian idiom. The field is unlettered, with the decorative elements filling the flan in a dense, symmetrical arrangement. |
