| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised male head facing left, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic tradition. The head is adorned with a prominent beaded diadem across the brow, with elaborately rendered flowing hair depicted as a series of curved and scrolled strands trailing behind. The facial features — including a large almond-shaped eye, defined nose, and mouth — are boldly modelled in high relief. Decorative scroll and pellet motifs fill the field around the head, characteristic of the southern British Celtic coinage style. |

The Selsey series takes its name from the Selsey Peninsula in West Sussex, where a major hoard find in the nineteenth century first defined this coinage for scholars. The Atrebates — whose continental relatives struck coins in what is now northern France and Belgium — brought the tradition of stater coinage to Britain, likely arriving before Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC reshaped tribal politics across the southeast. Quarter staters of this type circulated as genuine transactional currency rather than prestige pieces, turning up in settlement contexts rather than exclusively in hoards.
