| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Late Iron Age Celtic tradition. The broad, neat face is framed by a wreath in which the inner tip of each leaf points downward. A three-line angled cloak is depicted with a ringed-pellet fastener at the closure. A spike or hairbar terminates in a characteristic ear-form motif, below which two separated crescents occupy the lower field, contributing to the characteristic abstract composition of this Westerham type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Westerham Northern type sits at the turbulent intersection of Caesar's two British expeditions — 55 and 54 BC — a period when Catuvellauni political authority under Cassivellaunus was under direct military threat from Rome. Whether these staters circulated as currency or functioned primarily as warrior payment and gift exchange is still debated, but the weight standard suggests a deliberate alignment with continental Gallo-Belgic traditions rather than any Roman influence.
The "Straight Neck" classification within the broader Westerham series reflects a die-cutting distinction that Sills uses to separate what were likely consecutive production runs from the same issuing authority.
