Beschrijving voorzijde Stylised and abstracted head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the characteristic Celtic La Tène artistic tradition. A thin horizontal hair bar (spike), ornamented with small evenly-spaced pellets along its length and terminating beyond the wreath in a terminal pellet, bisects the design. The wreath is depicted with the inside ends of each leaf pointing downward above the hair bar and upward below it. Upstanding hair curls are visible behind the wreath, and linear crescents appear in the field before the face. The cloak is rendered with rows of pellets dotted along the folds themselves rather than in the spaces between them.

Aanvullende informatie

The Atrebates occupied a territory centered roughly on modern Berkshire and Hampshire, with strong cross-Channel connections to the Belgic Atrebates of Gaul — a relationship that almost certainly shaped the design traditions and metal sources of their coinage. The Fishbourne type, named for the findspot near the later Roman palace site in West Sussex, represents one of the earlier fractional gold issues attributed to this tribal grouping, predating the better-documented dynastic coinages of rulers like Tincomarus and Verica by several generations.

Quarter staters of this period circulated primarily as high-value exchange tokens within elite networks rather than everyday commerce. At 1.4g, the gold content still commanded real economic weight.
