Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylised and devolved effigy of Apollo facing right, reduced to an abstracted wreath motif in the Celtic manner, with the terminal leaves of each frond alternately pointing downward above and upward below the central hairbar. A prominent spike or hairbar crosses the wreath horizontally, terminating in a downturned hook, with a single small pellet positioned above it. Linear crescents appear in the field before the face, and a row of bold pellets is arranged behind the hanging hair curls, reflecting the characteristic Late Iron Age geometric reinterpretation of Hellenistic coin types.

Beschrijving keerzijde A triple-tailed horse prancing to the right, rendered in the abstracted Celtic style with a solid-line mane. A sunburst rosette ornament is placed both above the horse and below its tail, serving as characteristic field decorations of the Atrebatic series. A triad of annulets is positioned below the horse, giving this type its defining name. A curved line connects a ringed pellet to the body of the horse, a design element typical of the late uninscribed coinage of the Atrebates and Regini.

Aanvullende informatie

The Atrebates occupied territory in what is now Hampshire and West Sussex, with strong continental ties — their ruling dynasty traced lineage to the Belgic Atrebates of Gaul, the same people Julius Caesar encountered and subdued during his campaigns of 57 BC. The triple annulet serves as a regional die marker distinguishing output from this tribe's mint centers, helping modern scholars separate Atrebatan issues from the overlapping coinage of neighboring groups during a period when tribal boundaries shifted under Roman military pressure.

Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC almost certainly disrupted the political arrangements that governed coin production here.
