Beschrijving keerzijde Stylised Celtic horse depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in the abstract curvilinear manner characteristic of Dobunni coinage. The horse's body is formed from bold curved lines and pellet ornaments, with a lyre-like motif visible beneath the tail. Above the horse's back appears a linear crescent with a pellet above, positioned in the upper right of the field, while a cross with pellet ends occupies the upper left angle of the petal cross design. The field contains additional pellet and geometric fill ornaments consistent with the Cotswold Crosses type attribution; no legend is present.

Aanvullende informatie

The Dobunni occupied territory centered on what is now Gloucestershire, and their coinage circulated across a tribal network that extended into parts of modern Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. Unlike many Iron Age British tribes who adopted coinage primarily under Gaulish influence, the Dobunni developed a relatively coherent series of denominations suggesting a degree of monetary sophistication unusual for the region. The "Cotswold Crosses" designation comes from the cross-flan pattern visible on dies of this type — a classification tool, not a tribal name.
