Silver Unit - Regni Chichester Boar

The Chichester Boar series is attributed to the Atrebates and Regini in the decades surrounding Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC — a period when southern British tribes were navigating serious political pressure from Rome and from rival Catuvellauni expansion to the north. Whether coinage of this type was used to pay warriors, facilitate trade, or signal alliance allegiances remains contested among specialists. The flan preparation is notably consistent within this type, suggesting a reasonably organized mint operation rather than ad hoc production.
