| Reverse description | A stylised triple-tailed horse advancing to the left occupies the central field, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic idiom characteristic of Atrebatic coinage. Above the horse, a floral or solar symbol formed by radiating pellets and curved lines represents a schematised sun motif. Below the horse, a cogwheel or ring-and-pellet device is prominently placed in the lower field. Additional pellets are scattered throughout the field, enhancing the decorative composition. The flan is irregular and the design is boldly struck, with no inscription or legend present. |

| Additional information |
The Atrebates — a tribe with documented connections to the Belgic Gaulish confederation of the same name — likely began producing coinage in Britain after cross-Channel contact with Continental minting traditions, possibly accelerated by Caesar's campaigns in Gaul during the 50s BC, which disrupted trade networks and political alliances on both sides of the water. The "Triple Line" designation refers to a known die characteristic used by numismatists to distinguish this subtype within the broader uninscribed gold series, before named rulers began stamping their authority on the coinage.
