Obverse description A geometric cross design divides the field into four quarters, each occupied by an open crescent motif with horns facing outward. A small raised ring or pellet boss occupies the central intersection of the cross, with short pellet-tipped arms radiating outward. The overall composition is characteristic of Late Iron Age Celtic abstract coinage from the Atrebates-Regini region, reflecting the stylised, non-figural tradition associated with the Chichester series. The flan is irregular and the relief is bold, consistent with the hand-struck hammered technique of the period.
