Beschrijving voorzijde A stylised stag or goat rendered in the Celtic curvilinear tradition, depicted in left-facing profile with the head turned back over the body. The animal's limbs and musculature are abstracted into flowing decorative forms characteristic of Late Iron Age British coinage. Small pellet or annulet devices are visible in the field above the animal's back. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no inscriptions or legends present.

Beschrijving keerzijde A stylised horse depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in the abstract Celtic artistic idiom typical of Atrebatic silver coinage. Above and below the horse, distinctive wheel motifs with spiral or curved spokes fill the field, a decorative device frequently associated with the Hayling Island type series. The composition is dynamic, with the horse's body broken into curvilinear segments and pellet ornaments punctuating the field. No inscriptions or legends are present, consistent with the uninscribed issues of this tribal series.

Aanvullende informatie

The Hayling Head coinage is associated with the Atrebates in the decades surrounding Caesar's Gallic campaigns, a period when cross-Channel contact with Roman Gaul was reshaping the political and artistic vocabulary of southern British tribes. Whether that influence was absorbed through trade, diplomacy, or the movement of displaced Gaulish peoples remains debated. The "Hayling" designation derives from findspot concentration around Hayling Island in Hampshire, a site with a known Iron Age religious sanctuary — raising the possibility that some pieces entered the ground as votive deposits rather than through ordinary loss.
