| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised disjointed horse depicted in profile to the right, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner characteristic of pre-conquest British coinage derived from the Macedonian stater prototype. The horse's body is fragmented into curvilinear components, with a prominent arched neck and extended limbs shown in a galloping pose. A large open annulet is positioned to the lower left of the field, with a second annulet visible at upper centre, and scattered pellet ornaments occupy the surrounding field. A crescent device appears in the upper field above the horse. The reverse displays no inscription and exemplifies the advanced stylistic abstraction typical of the Atrebates and Regini coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates maintained close diplomatic ties with Rome during this period — Caesar's campaigns in Gaul had pushed allied tribes northward, and the Winchester Cross Wreath type is thought to have circulated precisely during and after his two British expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. Whether these fractional gold pieces served tribute obligations or internal exchange remains debated, but their geographic concentration around the Hampshire basin points firmly to a single tribal treasury operation rather than widespread trade use.
