| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, anepigraphic design characteristic of late Iron Age Celtic coinage of southern Britain. The field is dominated by a prominent almond-shaped eye motif rendered in relief, encircled by a raised ring, occupying the right-centre of the flan. The surrounding field is filled with a scattered arrangement of pellets, crescents, and irregular raised bosses, representing the abstract dissolution of an earlier Hellenistic head prototype. The entire composition is executed in a freely flowing, non-representational Celtic style with no inscriptions or border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied territory straddling what is now Hampshire and West Sussex, and their coinage developed under direct Gaulish influence — the tribe itself had migrated from Belgic Gaul, a movement likely accelerated by Caesar's campaigns of 58–51 BC. This quarter stater type, classified by John Sills as issue 180, belongs to a formative phase of British Celtic coinage when weight standards were still stabilizing and regional die-cutting traditions were only beginning to diverge from their continental prototypes.
The "Eye Star" designation is a modern typological convenience used to group dies sharing specific abstract features, not a contemporary name.
