| Obverse description | Plain, unadorned field bearing the retrograde or boldly rendered Latin inscription BODVOC centrally positioned across the flan. The legend, referencing the Dobunnic ruler Boduoc, is rendered in a characteristically bold and irregular Celtic lettering style, occupying the full width of the field with no additional decorative elements. The die-cutting is somewhat crude, consistent with the coin's identification as a contemporary counterfeit of the prototype stater. The flan surface is uneven, reflecting the hammered production technique typical of Late Iron Age Celtic coinage. |
