| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull, rendered in vigorous Celtic style, strides or butts aggressively to the right, its muscular form schematically delineated with hatched body markings. A pellet-in-ring symbol is positioned above the animal in the upper field, while the issuer's name TROCC appears as a legend below the bull, accompanied by a further pellet-in-ring device and scattered pellets distributed around the field. The overall composition is bold and energetic, characteristic of Catuvellauni bronze coinage of the early first century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Catuvellauni, operating out of their principal centre at Camulodunum — modern Colchester — were the dominant political force in southeastern Britain in the decades immediately preceding the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. This small bronze unit belongs to a phase when the tribe was aggressively expanding at the expense of their neighbours, the Trinovantes, whose territory they had largely absorbed by this period. The "Trinovantian U" classification reflects a typological grouping rather than a separate issuing authority — these coins were struck by Catuvellaunian control over formerly Trinovantian lands.
The TROCC inscription remains incompletely understood; it may denote a mint site, a magistrate, or a subordinate authority operating under Cunobelinus.
