| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised Apollo head derivative rendered in abstract Celtic idiom, featuring two multi-spoked sunburst wheels centrally positioned between parallel lines forming a wreath motif. The design is arranged diagonally with bilateral symmetry, the wheels serving as the focal point of the composition. Curvilinear hair curls of the Apollo prototype extend beyond the wreath border on both sides, rendered in characteristic La Tène decorative style. The field is otherwise plain, consistent with the Belgic quarter stater tradition of this period. |

The "Three Wheeler" type takes its collector nickname from a distinctive chariot arrangement that differentiates it from related Atrebatic quarter staters, and its production bracket almost certainly overlaps with Julius Caesar's two British expeditions of 55 and 54 BC — campaigns that disrupted tribal coinage across the southeast and forced client relationships with Rome onto rulers like Commios, the Atrebatic king who had initially served Caesar as an envoy before turning against him.
At 1.44g, these fractions were struck to a Gallo-Belgic weight standard inherited from Continental prototypes, reflecting the tight cross-Channel trade and kinship networks the Atrebates maintained with related tribes in what is now northern France.
