Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylised Celtic design derived from a classical prototype, depicting a debased laureate head rendered as a series of bold, flowing lines and striations filling the upper field. The facial features are abstracted into curvilinear elements, with a prominent central vertical ridge flanked by parallel raised lines suggesting hair or laurel wreath strands. A small pellet-in-annulet device occupies the lower central field, while scrolling motifs frame the composition. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, characteristic of Celtic quarter stater production.

Beschrijving keerzijde Stylised Celtic horse in profile facing left, rendered in the characteristic abstract manner of Catuvellauni coinage. The horse's body is indicated by bold curved lines, with the tail sweeping upward and the limbs suggested by angular strokes. A prominent sunburst or radiate pattern of straight lines emanates from the upper field, a motif associated with the Ingoldisthorpe type. Pellets and subsidiary decorative elements are scattered in the field below the horse, and a curved exergual line divides the design. The overall composition is uninscribed and entirely geometric-figurative in the Late Iron Age Celtic tradition.

Aanvullende informatie

The Ingoldisthorpe type takes its name from the Norfolk findspot where examples were first recorded, though the Catuvellauni tribal territory centered well to the south and west — the distribution of finds suggests these fractional pieces moved considerable distances through exchange networks before deposition. ABC 2448 is among the more tightly defined quarter stater attributions in the series, a period when Catuvellaunian coinage was consolidating toward the more standardized issues that would follow under identifiable dynastic names.
