Obverse description Abstracted wreath motif rendered in the Celtic artistic tradition, composed of flowing curvilinear lines and pellet ornaments filling the field. A schematic, concealed facial profile is embedded within the design, a characteristic feature of Late Iron Age British coinage in which the laureate head derived from Macedonian prototypes has been progressively stylised into near-abstract form. The surface is unmarked by legend or inscription, consistent with pre-conquest uninscribed coinage of the Atrebates and Regini. The flan is small and irregular, typical of the hammered quarter stater denomination.
