| Aversbeschreibung | Highly stylised, abstracted derivation of an Apollo head facing right, rendered in the fluid Celtic La Tène artistic tradition. The original wreath motif has been deconstructed into a series of curved lines and pellet-tipped spikes, with the facial features reduced to minimal suggestion within the overall design. A prominent spike or horn-like projection, ornamented with three pellets arranged in a triangular grouping, rises from the upper field. The entire composition reflects the progressive abstraction characteristic of British Celtic coinage of this period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised triple-tailed horse depicted in motion to the left, its body defined by bold, curvilinear lines consistent with late Iron Age Celtic artistic convention. A strap or girth line is rendered beneath the horse's belly. Above the horse, a floral sun motif — commonly described as a dahlia wheel — fills the upper field with radiating petals. Below the horse, a pelleted ring or annulet motif, sometimes likened to an anemone flower, occupies the lower field. The overall composition is typical of the Atrebatic coinage tradition attributed to the southern British tribes. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Atrebates were among the dominant tribes of pre-Roman southern Britain, maintaining close trade and political ties with their Gaulish counterparts across the Channel — ties that almost certainly explain the Gallo-Belgic prototypes underlying this coinage. Quarter staters of this type circulated as fractional currency within a system that had no fixed minting authority in the modern sense; production likely occurred at multiple unidentified sites across tribal territory in what is now Hampshire and West Sussex.
Van Arsdell's classification of the Rings type reflects a gradual abstraction from continental stater prototypes over several generations of copying — a process so advanced by this period that the original Macedonian Philip II gold stater ancestry is barely recoverable.
