| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised Celtic design derived from a laureate head, rendered in abstract geometric form characteristic of Iron Age British coinage. A central concentric ring motif representing a sun symbol dominates the field, flanked by a crescent and pellet. Three diagonal hair-lock striations radiate outward, interspersed with curved elements evoking a hidden or disintegrated facial effigy. The overall composition reflects the progressive abstraction of the Macedonian gold stater prototype common to British Celtic quarter staters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates and Regini occupied a broad swathe of southern Britain, and their coinage emerged from Continental Gaulish prototypes that had themselves degraded — through generations of copying — from the original gold staters of Philip II of Macedon. By the mid-first century BC, that ancestry had become almost unrecognizable, abstracted into the geometric and curvilinear vocabulary characteristic of insular Celtic work. The "Beaded Tail" variety is distinguished within ABC as a discrete type precisely because of that specific reverse feature, suggesting a controlled die series rather than casual imitation.
At 1.4g, this quarter stater represents a fractional denomination in active commercial use, not a prestige object.
