| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised, disjointed horse depicted in right-facing orientation, characteristic of the abstract Celtic numismatic tradition. The mane is rendered as a beaded row of pellets — the defining feature of the Dahlia Mane type — and the tail is tripartite, each terminal ending in a pellet. A collar encircles the horse's neck and a strap is rendered around its belly. Above the horse, a floral sun symbol is depicted with a pellet-in-ring motif at its centre. Below the horse, a spoked wheel with a visible axle serves as a ground line emblem. The reverse is devoid of any inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates entered recorded history at exactly the wrong moment — Caesar's Gallic Wars brought Roman military pressure directly onto their territory in northern Gaul, and a branch of the tribe under Commius crossed to Britain, where coinage production accelerated as a marker of political authority during the upheaval. The quarter stater denomination circulated as practical transactional currency rather than prestige issue, and gold of this weight was likely used in elite exchange networks rather than everyday commerce.
The "Dahlia Mane" designation is a modern typological label assigned by Van Arsdell, not a contemporary name. ABC 500 places it within a tightly clustered sequence of related quarter stater types sharing obverse ancestry traceable to Macedonian gold prototypes transmitted through generations of stylistic abstraction.
