| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised disjointed horse motif rendered in the abstract Celtic La Tène manner, occupying the central field. The horse is represented by fragmented curvilinear elements — arched neck, splayed limbs, and body segments — dispersed across a granular hatched background. A prominent row or arc of pellets appears beneath the horse, a characteristic feature of the Whaddon Chase series. Additional decorative devices including pellets and crescentic forms fill the surrounding field. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Whaddon Chase type takes its name from a hoard discovered in Buckinghamshire in 1849, which yielded several hundred gold staters and fractions and remains one of the more significant Iron Age Celtic coin finds from southern Britain. The Catuvellauni controlled territory across modern Hertfordshire and beyond, and their coinage was already in circulation when Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC brought Roman forces into direct contact with the tribe. Whether these coins financed resistance, tribute payments, or simply continued trade is unresolved — the archaeology is silent on that point.
The quarter stater denomination is considerably scarcer than the full stater in this type series.
