| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised helmeted head facing right, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The helmet and facial features are depicted through bold curvilinear lines and raised pellet ornaments typical of Late Iron Age British coinage. The design fills the flan with flowing, rhythmic forms characteristic of the Atrebatic artistic style. No inscription or legend appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied a tribal territory stretching across modern Hampshire, West Sussex, and Berkshire — a region that became a flashpoint during Caesar's British campaigns of 55–54 BC. By the time this type was struck, the tribal coinage system was already fragmenting between competing dynastic factions, with bronze units like this one serving the lower end of local exchange while gold staters circulated among the elite. ABC 740 is attributed specifically to the Chichester area grouping, placing its likely production center near what would become the Roman civitas capital of Noviomagus Reginorum.
