| Beschrijving voorzijde | Anepigraphic Celtic design featuring three prominent crescents arranged symmetrically across the flan, their tips oriented inward toward the centre of the coin. Each crescent is rendered with internal pellet-in-ring motifs and decorative corded or hatched borders along one edge, lending the design a characteristically abstract Late Iron Age aesthetic. A central pellet-in-annulet device occupies the upper field between the upper pair of crescents, serving as a focal anchor to the composition. The irregular flan displays the typical unstruck areas and edge irregularities associated with hand-struck Celtic coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates entered the Roman record forcefully in 54 BC when Caesar crossed the Thames and engaged Cassivellaunus — the tribal confederacy that included Atrebatan territory was under real military pressure, and coinage of this period likely circulated among warriors and chiefs navigating that shifting political environment. The half-unit denomination suggests a functioning fiduciary system, not merely prestige exchange.
ABC 974 is among the smaller fractional silvers of the series, and die-cutting at this size left little margin for precision.
