| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised, abstract derivation of a laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Celtic tradition with fragmented curvilinear elements representing the wreath, crescent ornaments, and draped cloak. A prominent cogwheel solar symbol appears at the base of a central spike or pellet-tipped ray, characteristic of the Chieveley Cogwheels type. The design is executed in low relief with bold, confident die-cutting typical of late Iron Age British coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised triple-tailed horse is depicted prancing to the left, its body rendered in an abstracted Celtic manner with sinuous lines and pellet detailing. A prominent cogwheel sun symbol appears above the horse in the upper field, and a second cogwheel motif occupies the lower field beneath the horse. The composition is dynamic and well-centred, with the cogwheels serving as the defining diagnostic feature of this specific quarter stater type within the broader Atrebatic series. |

The "Chieveley Cogwheels" type takes its name from the Berkshire findspot where a significant concentration of examples came to light, suggesting either a deliberate deposition or a well-traveled tribal route through Atrebatic territory. The Atrebates maintained close cross-Channel ties with their continental namesakes in what is now northern France — Caesar documented both branches during his Gallic campaigns, and coinage circulated between them with relatively little friction.
ABC 776 is among the more distinctive fractional issues of the period, its cogwheel patterning being a regional die characteristic rather than a pan-tribal convention.
