| Beschrijving voorzijde | Abstract Celtic wreath-cross design at centre, featuring two plain crescents opposed at the intersection. The four quadrants of the wreath cross are ornamented with distinct motifs: a row of vertical hair curls occupies the upper left and lower right angles, a stylised cloak or drapery element fills the upper right angle, and a crescent curl is placed in the lower left angle. The design is characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage, derived from a heavily abstracted Macedonian prototype. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse advances to the left, rendered in the characteristic abstract Celtic manner, with a pellet mane composed of individual pellet elements along the neck. Above the horse appears a petalled moon motif, consisting of a ringed pellet set within a ring of pellets. Below the horse is a floral sun device rendered as a sunburst rosette. The overall composition is open and well-spaced within the irregular flan, typical of the Atrebatic quarter stater series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied a territory stretching from what is now Hampshire into Sussex and Berkshire, with close cultural and likely dynastic ties to the Atrebates of Belgic Gaul — Caesar mentions both in his accounts of the British campaigns. The "Wonersh Left" designation refers to a find-spot grouping near Surrey, a classification system used when inscribed attribution is impossible at this early, pre-dynastic phase of British Celtic coinage.
Quarter staters of this type were almost certainly used in elite gift exchange and mercenary payment rather than everyday commerce. The weight standard derives ultimately from Macedonian gold, filtered through generations of Gaulish imitation.
