| Obverse description | Heavily degraded obverse of a contemporary counterfeit struck on a bronze flan with a thin gold wash, now largely lost to corrosion. The surface is nearly featureless, retaining only faint traces of a design in low relief, consistent with the simplified or blundered rendering typical of Iron Age forgeries imitating the Corieltauvi stater type. Green patina is visible in several areas, revealing the base-metal core beneath the plating. The irregular flan edge and poor surface preparation are characteristic of clandestine production intended to imitate official tribal coinage in circulation. |
