| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central cogwheel motif enclosed within a beaded ring, from which eight serrated, leaf-shaped elements radiate outward toward the coin's periphery, filling the entire field. The design is executed in a characteristic Late Iron Age Celtic style, with each leaf rendered with toothed or serrated edges suggesting organic or botanical forms. The overall composition conveys strong rotational symmetry, typical of the Regni tribal coinage tradition. No legend or inscription is present on this die. |

The Atrebates entered recorded history largely through Caesar's accounts of his British expeditions — Commius, installed as a client king by Rome after 54 BC, presided over a tribe whose coinage shifted noticeably in the years following. The eight-leaf cogwheel type falls within that politically turbulent window, when Atrebatean rulers were navigating the aftermath of Roman intervention while maintaining the visual vocabulary of indigenous Celtic coinage.
ABC 716 is a compact, lightweight unit whose fabric reflects the broader southern British tradition of reduced-weight silver struck in the mid-first century BC. Specimens are typically found in Hampshire and West Sussex — the tribal heartland.
