Commentary
Cette monnaie, bien que très proche des types ambiens, semble attribuable aux Trinovantes et Catuvellauni. Elle est très proche de la monnaie provenant de la vente CNG, mail bid sale 81, lot 1345 du 20 mai 2009.
This coin, although very close to the Ambian types, seems attributable to the Trinovantes and Catuvellauni. It is very close to the coin from the CNG sale, mail bid sale 81, lot 1345 of May 20, 2009

Historical background
BRITTANY - CATUVELLAUNI and TRINOVANTES
(1st century AD)
Cunobeline, king
Cunobeline, who seems to be the son of Tasciovanus and the brother of Epaticcus, is said to have united the two tribes of the Catuvellauni and the Trinovantes. He was a very powerful king and died at the latest in 43, just before the invasion of Brittany by Claudius I (41-54). He had had three sons including Adminius whom he banished around 40 AD. This son appealed to the judgment of Emperor Caligula. His two other sons Caratacus and Togodumnus shared his possessions on his death.
