Silver Unit - Regni Sussex Ducks

The Regni Sussex Ducks type belongs to the coinage tradition of the Atrebates, a tribe with direct continental ties — their ruling dynasty descended from Commios, a Belgic chieftain who served as Caesar's envoy during the Gallic campaigns before defecting and leading resistance against Rome. The "Ducks" nickname is a modern dealer convention referring to the abstract forms visible on this type, which evolved through generations of copying from earlier Gaulish prototypes.

ABC 695 is among the smaller, lighter units in the Atrebatic silver sequence — struck in the decades immediately surrounding Caesar's two British expeditions of 55 and 54 BC.
