| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, abstract derivative of an Apollo head facing right, rendered in the late Celtic geometric tradition. A hairbar terminates in a prominent wide crescent arc (the characteristic long spike of this type), with a ring-and-pellet motif positioned further along the bar. The wreath is composed of small, fine leaves with points directed upward above the hairbar and downward below it. Two pairs of C-shaped curvilinear elements in the forward field represent the disintegrated remnants of earlier linear crescents, while pendant hair-curls trail behind the head. A draped cloak appears in the upper field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied a territory stretching across modern Hampshire, Berkshire, and Sussex, maintaining strong continental ties with the Belgic Atrebates of Gaul — a connection reflected in their coinage traditions, which derived ultimately from Macedonian gold staters that filtered into Britain through trade and mercenary payment. The "Long-Spike" designation refers to a diagnostic die characteristic used by numismatists to group this quarter stater within Burgan's classification, not a feature described by ancient sources.
Quarter staters of this type circulated in a region that Caesar would enter diplomatically rather than militarily, as the Atrebatic king Commius had served as his envoy to Britain before the invasions of 55 and 54 BC.
