| Beschrijving keerzijde | A winged horse (Pegasus) depicted in motion to the left, rendered in the bold, stylized manner characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage. The creature's large, fanned wings are shown with prominent parallel striations, and the body is rendered with muscular, rounded forms. Pellet ornaments and abstract linear motifs are scattered throughout the field. The abbreviated Latin inscription TAS appears below the figure, identifying the issuer as Tasciovanos, king of the Catuvellauni. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tasciovanos ruled the Catuvellauni from roughly the late first century BC, making his territory — centered on Verulamium, near modern St Albans — one of the most politically dominant in pre-Roman Britain. His coinage is notable for being among the earliest British issues to bear a ruler's name in Latin letters, a deliberate signal of engagement with Roman commercial and diplomatic networks rather than submission to them. This griffin unit belongs to a period when Catuvellaunian silver output was diversifying rapidly across multiple types and weight standards.
