| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse prancing to the right, rendered in a highly schematic Celtic manner with attenuated, elongated stick-form legs. Below the horse, a crude lyre-shaped symbol occupies the lower field, a motif characteristic of the Atrebatic coinage tradition. A spoked wheel or solar disc symbol is placed above the horse in the upper field. Pellets and abstract geometric devices are scattered around the field as supplementary decorative elements. The entire composition is typical of the abstract, non-representational artistic conventions employed on southern British Celtic silver coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied a territory stretching across what is now Hampshire, Berkshire, and West Sussex, and their coinage developed under direct pressure from Caesar's Gallic campaigns. The tribal name itself appears in Caesar's accounts of the 54 BC invasion — Commios, the Atrebatic king, served initially as a Roman envoy before switching allegiance. This coin likely circulated during exactly that political rupture.
The "Hayling" designation ties this type to find concentrations around Hayling Island, a known ritual site, suggesting at least some of these units entered the ground as votive deposits rather than through loss in commerce.
