Comment
Trinovantes, Dubnovellaunus in Essex (c.30-c.25 BC); BMC 2446-48Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian L coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a stylized horse and rider, which is believed to represent the Celtic goddess Epona. This design is not found on any other coins of the same era, making it a distinctive and valuable piece for collectors.
