Comment
"Wild" Type. BMC 1784-92/1804-08Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trinovantian V coin is that it features a unique blend of Celtic and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side depicts a stylized horse and rider, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized Roman imperial eagle, highlighting the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into Celtic Britain.
