| Reversbeschreibung | A highly stylised and disjointed horse depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in the characteristic abstracted Celtic manner with anatomical elements dispersed across the field. The horse's tail is rendered as a distinctive triple-strand form terminating in a pellet. An eight-spoked wheel occupies the lower field, a motif derived from the sun-wheel symbolism common to Gallo-Belgic prototypes. Above the horse's back, a curved arm of the charioteer — a vestigial remnant of the original chariot scene — is visible, now reduced to a simple arc. The gold plating is substantially preserved on the raised design elements, contrasting with areas of green bronze corrosion in the recessed field. |

The Selsey series staters were produced by the Atrebates, a tribe with direct continental origins — Caesar's campaigns drove significant cross-Channel movement of people and coinage habits into southern Britain, and the Atrebates under Commios established themselves in the Hampshire and Sussex region carrying Gaulish monetary traditions with them. That a plated counterfeit exists within this series is historically telling: gilded bronze forgeries were only worth producing if the genuine gold originals were circulating in sufficient volume to make deception viable.
Uniface plated pieces of this type are classified as contemporary counterfeits rather than later copies, meaning someone in the late Iron Age was actively debasing the currency in real time. The relatively low surviving weight of this example is consistent with bronze core shrinkage beneath a thin gold wash.
