| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cruciform design composed of four arms, each containing a leaf or wreath element, radiating symmetrically from a central point. The arrangement reflects the characteristic Celtic abstract interpretation of classical floral and vegetal motifs. The field between the arms is filled with pellets and linear ornamental devices typical of the Hayling Island series. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with the hammered technique employed in contemporary counterfeit production. No legend or inscription is present. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Belgic quarter staters are well-documented from the late pre-conquest period, when the volume of coinage circulating across southern Britain created both the demand and the cover for plated forgeries. These were not crude provincial imitations — the dies used were often cut by hands familiar with the prototype, and many plated examples passed in trade without detection. The bronze core of this piece would have been struck first, then wrapped or dipped; the gold film on survivors is frequently intact where the coin avoided heavy handling.
