| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised abstract head facing right in the Celtic artistic tradition, rendered with a distinctive crescent-form motif representing the lunar or 'moon' head. The lips are depicted as a stalk form, with a prominent boss or pellet on the chin, and the hair is composed of pelleted crescents arranged in a decorative, non-naturalistic manner characteristic of Late Iron Age Dobunnic coinage. The overall composition reflects the highly schematised figural style of British Celtic die-engravers, in which representational forms are dissolved into geometric and curvilinear elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dobunni occupied the Severn Valley and surrounding uplands — territory roughly corresponding to modern Gloucestershire — and were among the few British tribes to mint coins bearing what appear to be dynastic names, though this particular class predates that practice. The Corio Head type likely takes its name from Corinium, the Roman designation for what became Cirencester, suggesting the tribal center was already established well before the conquest.
Class B issues are distinguished from related classes by subtle die characteristics catalogued by Van Arsdell, making attribution dependent on close die study rather than surface appearance alone.
