背面描述	A severely stylised and disjointed horse facing left, executed in the abstract Celtic manner typical of southern British Iron Age gold coinage. The body is reduced to curved and angular elements with thin, stick-like legs terminating in pellet-and-stem hooves, clearly visible in the lower field. A large scattered grouping of bold circular pellets fills the upper field above the horse. A single pellet appears beneath the horse in the lower field. The entire design is unlettered and aniconic in character, reflecting the progressive geometric abstraction of the original Macedonian stater prototype.

附加信息	The Westerham Stater takes its name from the Kent hoard discovered in 1927, which provided the defining reference group for this type. Derived ultimately from the Macedonian gold stater of Philip II — transmitted through Gaulish intermediaries over roughly two centuries of stylistic drift — by this stage the prototype has dissolved almost entirely into abstraction. Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC disrupted existing tribal exchange networks considerably, and coins of this type were likely already moving out of active circulation and into hoarding by the time Roman contact intensified.
