| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic wreath motif rendered between two horizontal pellet lines, with four hair strands below the hairbar and three above, with the inside edges of the leaves oriented downward. Hanging, stylised locks of hair appear behind the wreath in the field. Two symmetrical crescents flank the hairbar in the obverse field, each accompanied by a ringed pellet, with annulets above and below. The hairbar terminates as a spike bearing two ringed pellets, ending in a third pellet behind the crescents, all executed in the abstract La Tène artistic tradition characteristic of late British Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Trinovantes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and southern Suffolk, and by the mid-first century BC were under mounting pressure from the Catuvellauni to the northwest. These fractional gold pieces likely functioned as a high-value exchange medium within a gift economy and warrior aristocracy rather than anything resembling civic coinage. The Heybridge findspot — a settlement site in Essex — has produced concentrated assemblages suggesting deliberate deposition rather than casual loss.
Sills 434 places this within a tightly defined spiral-type series distinguished by specific die lineage rather than geographic spread alone.
