| Aversbeschreibung | Highly abstracted Celtic rendering of the head of Apollo facing right, derived ultimately from Macedonian prototype coinage. A thin hairbar (spike) bisects the design horizontally, terminating at its right end in a small annulet; leaf-like hair elements above the bar point inward with their tips directed downward, while those below point upward, creating a distinctive mirrored arrangement. Standing hair curls project behind the wreath in characteristic Celtic La Tène artistic style. Linear crescents appear in the lower right area of the field, with a spoked wheel motif positioned above them. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylised triple-tailed horse prances to the left, rendered in the abstract curvilinear manner characteristic of British Celtic coinage; the neck is bifurcated and the mane is indicated by pelleted or pellet-and-arc motifs. A prominent sunburst or rayed star device occupies the upper field above the horse. Beneath the horse, a distinctive toothed cog or wheel motif — the type's defining feature — fills the lower field, accompanied by scattered pellets and annulets in the surrounding field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Atrebates occupied a territory straddling what is now Hampshire, Berkshire, and Sussex, with strong cross-Channel connections to the Atrebates of Gallia Belgica — likely the same tribal group before Caesar's campaigns fragmented their political world. The "Cog and Wheel" designation refers to a die-cutting tradition, not a design description: these quarter staters were produced by celts whose makers borrowed abstract geometric vocabulary from continental prototypes, progressively distorting the original Macedonian gold stater imagery through generations of copying until the source became unrecognizable.
Sills 246 places this type within a closely studied sequence. The 1.4g weight standard reflects deliberate reduction from earlier quarter stater norms.
