| Aversbeschreibung | Cruciform design composed of four radiating arms, with a pair of opposed crescents at the centre. Solar symbols and stylised hair locks or pellet clusters occupy the four angles between the arms, reflecting the abstract curvilinear artistry characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic coinage in southern Britain. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Disjointed Celtic horse advancing to the right, rendered in the highly stylised, fragmentary manner typical of Atrebatic quarter staters. The roll-up mane terminates in a cogwheel or solar disc motif, alternatively interpreted as an inverted cock's head. A small subsidiary animal, identified as a foal or similar creature, appears beneath the horse in the lower field. |

The Atrebates occupied the Thames Valley and central southern Britain during a period of intense cross-Channel contact with Belgic Gaul — Caesar's campaigns of 55 and 54 BC directly disrupted tribal networks that had been producing and circulating coinage for decades. The Berkshire Crescents type is understood to derive ultimately from Macedonian gold stater prototypes, abstracted through generations of copying until the original imagery became unrecognizable. That progressive abstraction is the entire point: it reflects decades of insular reinterpretation rather than any single political decision.
ABC 998 is one of the more tightly documented quarter stater varieties of the series. The find distribution clusters heavily in Berkshire and north Hampshire.
