| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head facing left, rendered in the characteristically abstract Iron Age artistic tradition. The face is delineated by a prominent crescent-shaped form, with stalk-like lips and large ringed pellet eyes conveying a schematic, non-naturalistic portrait. Flowing, wave-patterned hair streams behind the head, composed of sinuous curved lines and pellet ornaments. The field surrounding the effigy is populated with additional ringed pellets and decorative motifs typical of Atrebatic coinage. The overall design reflects the La Tène artistic style applied to the inherited Macedonian stater prototype. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates entered Roman historical record when Caesar crossed to Britain in 55 BC — their king Commios had actually served as his ambassador to the island tribes before switching sides. This coin type belongs to the decade of that rupture, minted as Roman military pressure reshaped the political geography of southeastern Britain and forced the Atrebates into increasingly complex negotiations between resistance and accommodation.
ABC 668 is among the smaller denominations of the Atrebatan silver series, struck at a weight already reduced from earlier issues — a pattern consistent with monetary stress during the late pre-Roman period.
