| Obverse description | Uniface type; the obverse die, struck from a heavily worn and degraded original, presents an entirely plain, featureless field with no discernible design elements. The die was derived from a prototype bearing a highly abstracted, schematic head of Apollo — the characteristic motif of the Atrebatic Selsey stater series — but successive use and deterioration of the source die has rendered all imagery indistinct. The gold plating, now extensively worn and corroded to reveal the bronze core beneath, covers the broad, irregularly shaped flan. |
