正面描述 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.

背面描述 A schematised horse is depicted moving to the left, rendered in the highly abstracted Celtic artistic style typical of southern British Iron Age coinage. A pellet ring, formed from a circle of small raised pellets, appears beneath the horse's body. Additional pellet ornaments and a sunwheel or rosette device are visible in the lower field, providing decorative fill elements characteristic of the Regini-Atrebates coinage tradition. The flan is irregular with a slightly clipped edge, and the design elements are boldly struck though incompletely centred.

附加信息

The Regni occupied the Sussex coastal plain, and their minims — struck at a fraction of the quarter stater's weight — functioned at the lowest denomination of a layered Celtic monetary system that modern scholarship still debates. ABC 734 belongs to the Chichester group, named for the concentration of finds around what became the Roman civitas capital Noviomagus. The crescent-cross type likely postdates Roman diplomatic contact under Caesar's Gallic campaigns, and some specialists argue the abstract motifs reflect deliberate departure from imported Mediterranean prototypes rather than ignorance of them.
