| Obverse description | Two boars depicted in opposition, their bodies facing one another in a confronted arrangement typical of Late Iron Age British Celtic artistic convention. A spoked wheel motif is placed between the animals in the central field, serving as a dividing device and a probable solar or ritual symbol. The rendering is stylised in the characteristically abstracted Celtic manner, with the boars' forms reduced to curvilinear outlines and pellet ornaments. The flan is irregular and the relief is low, consistent with hand-struck bronze issues of the period. No inscription or legend is present on this face. |
