| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head facing left, rendered in a highly schematic and crudely executed manner characteristic of a contemporary counterfeit. The hair is depicted as a curved ladder motif composed of parallel ridges, a hallmark of the Commios Ladder Head series. The eye is rendered as a lentoid pellet-in-ring device. A small phallic face or scroll ornament appears in the field before the head, a secondary decorative element typical of this issue type. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Commios-type units were not crude fraud in the modern sense — they circulated alongside official issues and were likely produced by smiths operating at the margins of tribal authority, meeting genuine demand for small silver coinage during a period when Atrebatic output was inconsistent. The silver-plated bronze fabric of this piece places it firmly within a known class of imitations, and the tell is always the same: wear exposes the bronze core at the high points of the flan where the plating thins first.
