| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised Celtic horse depicted in profile moving to the left, rendered in the schematic, abstracted manner typical of late Iron Age British coinage. The horse's body is composed of bold curved lines and pellet ornaments, with limbs reduced to elongated strokes. Above and below the horse are decorative subsidiary symbols including a rayed star or sun motif with central pellet, a plain pellet-in-annulet, and additional pellet groupings distributed across the field. The reverse lacks any inscription, consistent with the uninscribed Belgic quarter stater tradition attributed to the Atrebates. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Produced in the decade bracketing Julius Caesar's two expeditions to Britain (55 and 54 BC), these fractional staters circulated among the Atrebates at a moment of acute political pressure. Caesar's campaigns did not conquer the southeast, but they restructured its power relationships — Commios of the Atrebates served as Caesar's envoy before eventually turning against Rome, and coinage of this period reflects a tribe navigating between collaboration and resistance. Whether this piece predates or postdates that rupture cannot be fixed with certainty.
