Silver Unit - Belgae Droxford Two Boars

The Droxford Two Boars type takes its name from a findspot concentration around the Meon Valley in Hampshire, territory firmly within the Atrebatic sphere during the late pre-conquest period. These small silver units were struck in the decades immediately surrounding Caesar's two expeditions to Britain — 55 and 54 BC — a moment when cross-Channel political pressure from Rome was already reshaping tribal hierarchies and, with them, the coinage that expressed tribal authority.

ABC 539 is among the more tightly provenanced Celtic British types, with metal analysis suggesting a silver source consistent with recycled continental coinage rather than newly smelted ore.
