| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted derivation of an Apollo head facing right, rendered in the La Tène Celtic artistic tradition. The design is dominated by a pair of crossed wreath bands forming a central X motif, with two outline back-to-back crescents positioned at the intersection. Stylised pellet-and-arc locks of hair radiate into each quadrant formed by the crossing wreaths. Notably absent is the central spike or boss typically found on closely related issues. The field is otherwise plain, consistent with the simplified, geometric character of this late Atrebatic struck series. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Iron Age British staters were not the work of back-alley forgers in any modern sense — they were often produced within the same communities that circulated the genuine article, filling a transactional gap when the real thing was scarce. The gold-plated bronze technique here is consistent with a workshop that understood die-cutting; the blanks were cast, plated, and struck with enough competence to pass in low-scrutiny exchange. The Wonersh find context places this piece within the Atrebatic heartland of southern Britain, a region under sustained political pressure during the decades bracketing Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC.
