| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted derivative head of Apollo facing right, rendered in characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic idiom. The wreath is depicted with leaf terminals pointing downward above the hairbar and upward below it, creating the distinctive inverted arc motif. A prominent hairbar or spike traverses the wreath horizontally, terminating at each end in two downturned arc-shaped hooks. Two linear crescents are positioned in the field before the face, and the cloak is rendered at a sharply acute angle, further emphasising the abstract geometric quality of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates were among the tribes that had direct contact with Caesar's Gallic campaigns — Commius, their king, served as Caesar's envoy to Britain before the 55 BC invasion and later defected, eventually fleeing to Britain himself around 50 BC. These quarter staters circulated precisely during that period of political turbulence, when cross-Channel relationships between Belgic Gaul and southern Britain were fracturing under Roman pressure. The "inverted arcs" type is a late devolved derivative of the Gallo-Belgic abstract coinage tradition, produced in small flans that required careful striking to center the design.
