| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised and abstracted head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Celtic decorative tradition with a wreath design forming the hair. Small annulets and rings are distributed within the hair field, and a spike ornament terminating in three pellets appears prominently. The design reflects the highly schematised treatment characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage, with naturalistic classical features reduced to geometric and curvilinear elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of British Iron Age staters — produced in the same period as the official issues they imitated — reveal the limits of monetary enforcement in pre-Roman southern Britain. The Atrebates tribe, operating from their center at Calleva (modern Silchester), had no institutional mechanism to police unofficial striking. Plated counterfeits circulated alongside genuine gold issues, accepted by a population without reliable means to test fineness.
Van Arsdell 212 places this type within the Selsey series, associated with the Regni or southern Atrebates. The bronze core beneath the gold wash is typically visible at high-wear points along the flan edge.
