| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular, cast-struck bronze flan exhibiting a heavily patinated surface with green cuprite encrustation. The obverse field displays an abstract Celtic design composed of interlocking curvilinear loops and sinuous lines radiating from a central point, characteristic of the La Tène artistic tradition. The pattern, sometimes described as a 'loopy' motif, is formed by a series of flowing arcs and spirals arranged in a broadly symmetrical composition across the field. No legend or inscription is present on this face. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hand-struck Celtic coinage of the late pre-Roman Iron Age. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from their capital at Verulamium — modern St Albans — and was likely the father of Cunobelin, Shakespeare's Cymbeline. The "Loopy" designation refers to a specific die variety distinguished by its ornamental loop motif, a classification used to separate what are otherwise closely related bronzes within an already tightly clustered series. These small bronzes circulated in the decades immediately preceding serious Roman commercial penetration of southeastern Britain, a region Augustus was watching carefully without yet committing to conquest.
