| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly disjointed and fragmented horse rendered facing left in the severely abstracted Celtic artistic tradition, with elongated stick-like legs typical of the Atrebatic series. Numerous pellets are scattered liberally above the horse in the upper field, and a single pellet appears beneath the horse's body. The design elements are arranged across an irregular flan with no exergue line, legend, or additional symbol, reflecting the advanced devolvement of the Macedonian prototype from which British Celtic staters ultimately derive. |

The Atrebates were almost certainly introduced to Gallo-Belgic coinage traditions through direct contact with continental tribes — possibly refugees or warriors crossing the Channel in the decades before Caesar's invasions of 55 and 54 BC. These staters derive ultimately from Macedonian gold prototypes that had traveled northwest through trade and mercenary payment over roughly two centuries, degrading in design with each regional reinterpretation. The Lepe findspot, on the Hampshire coast, places this type squarely in Atrebatic heartland territory.
Caesar's campaigns created immediate monetary disruption among southern British tribes, accelerating the shift toward locally struck coinage with increasingly abstract imagery.
