| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Celtic head facing right, rendered in the characteristic late Iron Age British tradition with schematic linear treatment. The face is dominated by a large almond-shaped eye, with striated hair or helmet crests depicted as bold parallel lines sweeping across the upper field. Pellet and crescent decorative elements fill the surrounding field, typical of the Atrebatic artistic idiom. The overall design reflects a highly abstracted interpretation of a classical prototype, retaining only vestigial anthropomorphic features. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Atrebates, originally a Belgic tribe that migrated to southern Britain sometime in the late second century BC, occupied a territory roughly corresponding to modern Hampshire, Berkshire, and West Sussex. The "Helmet type" designation within this series refers to a die style, not a visual element — the classification emerged from 19th-century typological work by John Evans, whose groupings have since been partially revised by the Celtic Coin Index. This particular unit belongs to an uninscribed phase of Atrebatic coinage predating the dynasty of Commios, whose successors would introduce named issues.
The Ashdown Forest findspot cluster points to a concentration of ritual deposition or market activity in what is now East Sussex — well outside the tribe's core territory.
