| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded male bust facing right, rendered in the schematic Celtic artistic tradition with stylised facial features. The legend TAS appears below and in front of the bust, serving as an abbreviated dynastic inscription attributing the issue to Tasciovanos, king of the Catuvellauni. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hand-struck Late Iron Age British silver units. The overall design reflects Mediterranean numismatic influence adapted through indigenous Celtic craftsmanship. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, operating out of Verulamium — present-day St Albans — and was likely the father of Cunobelin, the king Shakespeare loosely immortalized as Cymbeline. His coinage is among the earliest struck silver in the British Iron Age, drawing directly on Gallo-Belgic traditions but increasingly asserting a distinct local identity. The bearded horseman type is one of several distinct issues attributed to his reign, differentiated by Van Arsdell and Spink classification rather than any mint record.
