| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised Celtic design executed in the La Tène tradition, featuring an abstracted head or face rendered through a composition of curvilinear elements. The field is dominated by interlocking corded arcs, concentric ring motifs, and pellet groupings arranged across the flan. A prominent diagonal line bisects the design, flanked by crescentic forms and scrolling terminals. The overall composition is typical of the Danebury Corded series, in which naturalistic imagery has been reduced to bold geometric and organic abstractions. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Hampshire and Berkshire, and their coinage emerges in the immediate shadow of Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC. Whether those incursions disrupted or accelerated local minting activity remains debated, but the archaeological record from Danebury hillfort — a site with occupation stretching back centuries before this issue — suggests these small units were in active regional use during a period of significant political realignment between British tribes and Continental powers.
The "corded" designation refers to a specific die-linked group within Van Arsdell's classification, distinguished by rope-like ornamental treatment that allows specimens to be attributed to discrete production batches.
