| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head facing right, rendered in the abstract curvilinear tradition characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. The neck is notably elongated and delineated by a beaded outline, a defining typological feature of this issue. Facial elements are schematically rendered with pellet and arc motifs. A spoked wheel device is positioned before the head in the left field. The flan is irregular and the die work reflects the hand-struck hammered technique typical of pre-Roman Celtic silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied a territory straddling both sides of the Channel, and their coinage reflects direct contact with the Gallo-Belgic tradition rather than any independent numismatic evolution. Caesar's invasions of 55 and 54 BC disrupted tribal politics across southern Britain profoundly enough that coin production and distribution patterns shifted — some issues contracted, others proliferated as chiefs needed portable wealth to pay warriors or buy alliances.
The ABC 842 classification places this within a closely related cluster of struck silvers sharing the beaded neck treatment, distinguished from adjacent types by subtle pellet and line arrangements that likely encoded tribal or workshop identity now lost to the record.
