| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two opposed horses rearing on hind legs, facing one another in mirror composition, rendered in the flowing, stylised Celtic artistic tradition. A smaller horse is depicted in the lower central field, accompanied by a pierced annular star motif beneath. The design is executed with characteristic Iron Age abstraction, with curvilinear body forms and deeply struck relief. The flan is irregular, typical of hand-struck Celtic coinage of the period. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Tangmere Two Horses type is associated with the tribal zone around modern West Sussex, a region where Atrebatic influence was consolidating in the decades immediately surrounding Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC. Whether those invasions disrupted local minting or merely coincided with a shift in type is unresolved, but the coinage of this period shows marked fragmentation — multiple short-lived types issued in tight geographic clusters, suggesting political instability at the chieftain level rather than centralized production.
ABC 689 is among the scarcer Atrebatic silver units. Findspot evidence clusters heavily around the Chichester plain.
