| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised Celtic horse advancing to the right, rendered in the abstract, fragmented manner characteristic of late Iron Age British coinage of the Atrebatic tradition. The horse's body is composed of bold curvilinear elements, with limbs dissolved into swirling crescents and pellet ornaments. Above and around the horse, disjointed decorative motifs — possibly representing a charioteer or solar symbols — fill the field in typical Celtic fashion. Below the horse, a ground line of pellets or crescentic forms is discernible. The flan is slightly irregular and the die is boldly engraved with high relief. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Winchester Sun" undertype designation indicates this is a planchet originally struck with an earlier design that was subsequently overstruck — the ghosted impressions of the prior type visible beneath the dominant strike. Sills' classification of these quarter staters has substantially revised earlier attributions that lumped many Atrebatic fractional gold issues under catch-all ABC references. The Atrebates under Commius and his successors struck heavily during the decades following Caesar's two incursions into Britain, a period when tribal coinage in the southeast accelerated sharply, likely driven by tribute obligations and cross-channel trade with Belgic Gaul.
