Gold 1/4 Stater - Regni Annulets

The Atrebates were among the most commercially active tribes in pre-Roman southern Britain, with strong cross-Channel ties to their continental counterparts in Belgic Gaul. This fractional denomination would have circulated in high-value transactions — land, cattle, mercenary payment — rather than everyday exchange, which is precisely why so many survivors show minimal wear despite two millennia of intervening history. The annulet decoration places this firmly within a regional typological group that helped numismatists map tribal boundaries before documentary evidence existed to do the same job.
