| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised Celtic rendering of a laureate head, derived ultimately from a Philip II of Macedon prototype, depicted in abstract curvilinear form characteristic of Late Iron Age British Celtic art. The facial features are dissolved into swirling lines, pellets, and comma-shaped elements radiating across the flan, with boldly rendered lentoid eye forms and sinuous locks of hair rendered as dynamic arcing relief lines. The field is plain and uninscribed, consistent with the 'plain' classification of this Atrebatic type. The design occupies the full irregular flan, hammered in high relief with characteristic uneven spread. |

The "Qd Plain" designation marks this as one of the uninscribed issues predating the adoption of Latin lettering by Atrebatic rulers — a transition that accelerated sharply after Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC forced tribal leaders into new political relationships with Rome. The absence of a ruler's name is itself chronologically diagnostic, placing production before Commios or his successors began asserting individual authority through inscribed coinage.
BMC Iron 450–2 places this type within a tight stylistic sequence. The planchet fabric on these issues tends toward irregular flan preparation, a characteristic of the tribe's pre-Roman striking habits rather than any production decline.
