| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, abstracted effigy of Apollo facing right, derived from the classical wreathed head type. The wreath is rendered schematically, with the terminal ends of each leaf pointing downward above the hairbar and upward below it, creating a sharply angled decorative motif. A horizontal hairbar (spike) bisects the wreath, its ends terminating in two small parallel curved hooks or arcs. Two linear crescents appear in the field before the face, and schematic hair strands hang behind the head in the Celtic La Tène tradition. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse prancing to the right in the Celtic abstract tradition, featuring a bifurcated neck rendered as two distinct lines and no mane. The upper front legs are notably curved, a diagnostic feature of this type. A sunburst or star-shaped rosette appears in the field above the horse. A cogwheel motif is placed beneath the horse, serving as a key identifying element of this issue. A ringpole device — consisting of a pellet within a ring set upon a short bar — appears in the field before the horse's chest. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied the territory straddling what is now Hampshire, West Sussex, and Berkshire — a region in direct contact with Caesar's Gallic campaigns. This coin type was struck precisely during the decade of Roman military pressure on southern Britain, a period when tribal coinage in the region was proliferating rapidly, likely tied to the need to pay warriors, forge alliances, and move wealth quickly ahead of political instability.
The Sills classification places this within a tightly defined stylistic group. Quarter staters of this period are consistently found in hoards rather than as single site finds, suggesting deliberate concealment rather than loss in circulation.
