Gold 1/4 Stater - Belgae Winchester Sun and Moons

The Atrebates occupied a territory centered on modern Hampshire and Berkshire, with Winchester sitting at the heart of their distribution zone for coinage of this type. Their tribal identity was directly shaped by continental Belgic migrations, and this quarter stater series belongs to a moment when cross-Channel political ties were still active enough to influence local coin design traditions — Caesar's campaigns in Gaul between 58 and 50 BC disrupted those networks permanently.

ABC 800 is among the lighter fractional issues in the series, consistent with a gradual debasement trend visible across late Iron Age British gold during this precise decade.
