| Beschrijving voorzijde | A stylised four-petalled flower occupies the entire field, each petal bisected by a beaded line radiating outward from the centre. At the heart of the design sits a prominent ringed pellet, serving as the focal point of the composition. The floral motif is rendered in a bold, abstract Celtic style characteristic of late Iron Age Belgic coinage. The flan is small and irregular, typical of struck silver minims of this period, with design elements occasionally running off the edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied territory spanning modern Hampshire, West Sussex, and Berkshire, and maintained unusually close ties with Gaulish tribes across the Channel — Caesar noted their continental connections during his British campaigns of 55 and 54 BC. Minims like this one circulated at the lowest denomination of the tribal coinage system, likely used for small-scale exchange in markets or as votives. Their tiny fabric makes correct attribution genuinely difficult, and ABC 986 sits at the edge of a cluster of related types still disputed among specialists.
