背面描述	Disjointed and highly stylised representation of a horse derived ultimately from the chariot reverse of the Macedonian gold stater of Philip II, reduced to abstract components distributed across the field. The horse's body is rendered in schematic, angular strokes, with scattered pellets and crescents filling the surrounding field. A wheel or solar symbol is suggested by circular arrangements of pellets. The extreme stylisation is characteristic of the Gallo-Belgic C / Kentish A series, in which recognisable figurative elements have been almost entirely dissolved into abstract design vocabulary.

附加信息	The "Insuler Belgic C / Kentish A" classification places this stater within the wave of Gallo-Belgic coinage that crossed the Channel into southeastern Britain during the first century BC — coins that arrived not through trade alone but carried by migrating Belgic peoples, possibly including the Atrebates themselves, who had close continental kin in what is now the Pas-de-Calais. By the time Caesar began his Gallic campaigns in 58 BC, these coins were already old currency in Britain, circulating across tribal boundaries well beyond Atrebatic territory proper.
