| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly abstracted Celtic horse is depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in the distinctive La Tène style characteristic of Atrebatic quarter staters. The horse displays a double tail, a prominent beaded or pellet-decorated mane, and its inner legs are joined at the knees by a rectangular face-like box motif — a distinctive and diagnostic feature of this type. A stylised floral or solar rosette device appears above the horse's back, likely a solar symbol. The composition fills the flan with characteristic Celtic dynamism, with no inscription or legend present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates were among the most commercially active tribes in pre-Roman southern Britain, maintaining direct trading relationships with Gaulish and Belgic communities across the Channel. Their fractional gold coinage — of which this quarter stater is a denomination — circulated alongside imported Continental issues and served real transactional functions, not merely ceremonial ones. The "Cult Head" designation refers to a typological classification by modern scholars, not a surviving tribal name for the type.
ABC 602 is associated with production centers in the Hampshire and West Sussex region. Die links across the series suggest relatively centralized manufacture rather than dispersed tribal striking.
