| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised Celtic wreath motif rendered in flowing curvilinear relief, with interlocking crescent forms distributed across the field. The design is executed in the late Iron Age British tradition, with deeply modelled, swirling lines replacing any figurative imagery. Pellet and arc elements punctuate the composition, reflecting the abstract decorative vocabulary characteristic of Trinovantian coinage of this period. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Trinovantes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and south Suffolk, making Billericay a plausible production or circulation zone. The "cogwheel" descriptor refers to a die characteristic used by dealers and cataloguers to distinguish this subtype within the broader uninscribed gold stater series — the tribe would not yet adopt coin inscriptions until the generation after Julius Caesar's two expeditions into Britain in 55 and 54 BC forced closer engagement with Roman commercial conventions.
Quarter staters of this type are substantially rarer than full staters from the same issue, likely reflecting a different transactional role rather than lower production volume.
