Gold 1/4 Stater - Regni Tangmere Eel Spear

The Tangmere Eel Spear type takes its name from the findspot concentration around Tangmere, West Sussex — territory corresponding to the Atrebatic tribal zone in the decades before Commius crossed from Gaul and reorganized the regional coinage under his own authority. The eel spear epithet refers to a modern cataloguer's label, not ancient inscription; this is a wholly uninscribed issue, predating the introduction of ruler names onto British Celtic coinage.

ABC 548 sits in a typological sequence that numismatists use to trace cross-Channel contact with Belgic Gaul before the Caesarian campaigns disrupted those networks after 58 BC.
