| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised horse or similar quadruped depicted in a highly abstracted Celtic manner, shown in profile with disjointed limbs characteristic of Iron Age British coinage design. Above the animal, a prominent crescent or lunate symbol is visible, along with scattered pellets and a ringed or spiral motif in the lower field. Additional decorative elements including crescents and globular pellets are distributed across the field, reflecting the complex symbolic vocabulary of Trinovantian Celtic art. No legend or inscription is present, and the flan is irregularly shaped as expected for hammered British Celtic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Trinovantes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and southern Suffolk, and were among the first British tribes to have direct diplomatic contact with Rome — Caesar records them as seeking his protection against the Catuvellauni during his 54 BC expedition. Whether coins of this type were circulating during that negotiation is unknown, but the decade-long date range places production squarely around that encounter.
ABC 2267 is a poorly understood type with limited find-spot data, making provenanced examples genuinely useful to scholarship on Trinovantian mint geography.
