| Reverse description | A stylised horse progressing to the right, rendered in the highly schematic Celtic tradition with an elongated body, splayed limbs, and a prominent pellet-in-ring at the shoulder junction. Above the horse, a cluster of raised pellets arranged in a roughly triangular or arc formation fills the upper field, while to the right a multi-armed wheel or sunburst motif with a central pellet hub and radiating spokes dominates the field. Scattered pellets and small crescent elements occupy the lower field and border, and a simplified charioteer or driver figure may be discerned above the horse's back. The lower border features a segmented arch or lunate device, and no inscription is present. |

| Additional information |
The Atrebates were among the most Continental-influenced of the southern British tribes, maintaining close trade and diplomatic ties with Belgic Gaul throughout the late Iron Age. The Yarmouth stater type sits within a lineage descending from the Gallo-Belgic E imports that flooded into Britain in the decades before Caesar's campaigns — successive generations of copying gradually abstracted the original Macedonian prototype into something distinctly local. Caesar's invasions of 55 and 54 BC likely disrupted the production of types in this date range, making precise attribution to either side of that disruption a persistent problem for specialists.
