| Aversbeschreibung | Abstract geometric design in the Late Iron Age Celtic tradition, centred on a vertical corded or beaded bar dividing the field into two registers. To either side of this central corded line appears a stylised 'turf cutter' motif, each flanked by a cogwheel or rosette element composed of pellets arranged in a circular formation. The lower portion of the die exhibits a pronounced arc of radiating lines or striations, suggestive of a crescent or lunate device. The overall composition is uninscribed and entirely decorative, reflecting the abstract artistic vocabulary characteristic of Belgic coinage of the period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised horse progressing to the left, rendered in the disjointed, abstracted manner typical of British Celtic coinage. Above the horse, a prominent solar or floral motif — a ringed pellet or wheel-like sun symbol with radiating petals — occupies the upper field. Flanking the horse's body are additional ringed pellet devices, consistent with the 'cogwheel' decorative vocabulary of the series. Below the horse, a comet or celestial symbol is present, rendered as a ringed pellet with radiating lines. The field is entirely uninscribed, and the design elements are distributed across the flan in the characteristic dispersed arrangement of Atrebatic quarter staters. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Atrebates occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Berkshire and Hampshire, with strong continental ties to the Atrebates of Belgic Gaul — the tribal name appears on both sides of the Channel before Caesar's campaigns accelerated migration and political fragmentation in the 50s BC. This quarter stater type belongs to a coinage tradition that functioned primarily as elite exchange and warrior payment rather than everyday commerce, circulating within a gift economy where prestige mattered more than face value.
ABC 770 is distinguished by the distinctive arc pattern that gives the type its collector name. These small flans were notoriously difficult to strike cleanly at this weight, which is why off-center examples vastly outnumber well-centered ones in recorded finds.
