| Reverse description | Schematic representation of a horse facing left, reduced to its most elemental geometric components: five short strokes indicating the body and limbs, with a single isolated leg below, consistent with the 'one leg' type designation. Seven pellets are distributed across the field, likely derived from earlier wheel or star motifs. The overall composition demonstrates the advanced stylisation and fragmentation of the horse motif characteristic of late Durotrigan bronze issues, far removed from the naturalistic equine imagery of earlier Celtic coinage. |
