| Beschrijving voorzijde | Celticised Augustan-style male head facing left, rendered in the schematic Late Iron Age manner with boldly modelled hair depicted as curved strands. The legend CVNO appears before the effigy in Latin characters, attributing the issue to Cunobelin, while a pellet-in-ring ornament is placed beneath the chin as a decorative field element. The portrait betrays strong Roman provincial influence in its overall composition while retaining distinctly native stylistic conventions. |

| 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.
