Beschrijving voorzijde Highly stylised head facing right in the Celtic decorative tradition, rendered with crudely executed wreath motif. Waved hair curls depicted in flowing, abstracted form trail behind the head. A three-pronged hairbar or spike appears prominently, accompanied by shallow crescent devices. Radiating linear elements in the field suggest a draped cloak. The overall treatment is characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic artistic conventions, emphasising abstract pattern over naturalistic portraiture.

Aanvullende informatie

The Atrebates were among the tribes Caesar identified by name during his Gallic campaigns, and the coinage they produced in the decades immediately preceding his British expeditions of 55 and 54 BC reflects direct contact with Gaulish monetary traditions — these quarter staters derive stylistically from Gallo-Belgic prototypes that circulated across the Channel before any Roman administrative presence in the region. The Yarmouth type is named after the findspot concentration rather than a mint location, since Celtic tribal minting in this period was almost certainly mobile, tied to elite or royal assemblies rather than fixed infrastructure.
