Commentary
Cette intéressante monnaie est étrangement proche des monnaies de la série dite “au serpent cornu” dont une douzaine de quarts seraient connus ; les provenances seraient localisées dans l'Aisne et principalement la Somme.
Pour ce type précis, nous aurions plutôt à faire à une monnaie anglo-saxonne frappée par les Atrébates. L’exemplaire n° 598 de MONNAIES 55, a été vendu 1807€ sans les frais.
This interesting coin is strangely close to the coins of the so-called “horned serpent” series, of which a dozen quarters are known; the provenances are said to be located in the Aisne and mainly the Somme. For this specific type, we would rather be dealing with an Anglo-Saxon coin struck by the Atrebates. Copy No. 598 of MONNAIES 55, was sold for €1,807 excluding fees

Historical background
ATREBATES / REGNI
(1st century BC)
Part of the Atrebates emigrated from the Continent and came to settle in Brittany in the 2nd century BC. With the Regni, they formed a politico-economic whole. They occupied the territories placed south of the Thames in the counties of Hampshire, Sussex and Berkshire. They were the first to mint coins on the island. In 57 BC, Commios, king of the continental Atrebates, was sent to Britain by Caesar to prepare for the invasion of the island of Britain. Eventually, Commios ends up becoming king of the island Atrebates at the end of the Gallic Wars.
