Reverse description Bilaterally symmetrical design featuring two confronted yin-yang-like spiral motifs, each enclosed within a circular border, flanked by four stylised star or sun symbols with projecting rays positioned at the cardinal and diagonal points of the flan. Crescentic or lunate elements appear between the stars, giving rise to the type designation 'Moon Star'. The composition is executed with considerable precision and decorative symmetry, characteristic of the Regni/Atrebatic quarter stater series. The field is otherwise plain, and the flan retains its characteristic irregular hammered outline.
