| Beschrijving voorzijde | Severely abstracted and stylised head of Apollo facing right, derived from the Gallo-Belgic coinage tradition. The wreath is rendered schematically as two parallel pellet lines, with a prominent central spike flanked by two large pellets and a radiating sunburst motif. A row of oblique dashes, representing the continuation of the wreath, runs through the spike element, filling the field in a distinctly abstract Celtic artistic manner. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylised Celtic horse with three distinctive annulate tails advancing left, the body decorated with a pellet-in-ring motif on both the breast and rump, characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage iconography. A cogwheel or rayed sunburst-in-ring device appears both above and below the horse, occupying the upper and lower fields respectively. The overall composition is typical of contemporary counterfeit issues imitating Gallo-Belgic or British quarter stater prototypes, executed in a degenerate but recognisable style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Macedonian-style fractional gold were produced throughout the eastern Mediterranean during the late Republican period, typically by plating a bronze core with a thin wash of gold sufficient to pass casual inspection in low-value transactions. The Robinson classification identifies a specific group of these, named after the scholar E.S.G. Robinson, who systematically documented plated fractional staters in the mid-twentieth century.
