| 裏面の説明 | Abstract cruciform design occupying the central field, formed by curved and straight lines radiating from a central pellet, creating four quadrants each decorated with spiral or ringlet terminals and additional pellets in the angles. The overall composition reflects the highly stylised Celtic artistic tradition, deriving ultimately from a classical horse motif reduced to near-abstract geometric elements. The field is plain and uninscribed, with the design confined within the irregular circular flan. No legend is present on this denomination. |

Minims occupy a peculiar corner of British Iron Age numismatics — struck at fractions so small they approach the limits of what ancient technology could consistently produce. These were not small change in any everyday sense; their function remains debated, with some scholars arguing they served votive or ceremonial purposes rather than routine exchange. The Atrebates, a Belgic tribe with strong continental ties, brought sophisticated coinage traditions across the Channel, but the minim pushes that tradition to its practical extreme.
At this weight, individual striking errors and planchet irregularities are nearly unavoidable.
