| Beschrijving keerzijde | A schematically rendered horse galloping to the left with three distinctive tail strands, each terminating in a pellet. Above and below the horse appear two eight-spoked wheels with axle bosses, which give this issue its diagnostic 'Three Wheels' typological designation. The composition is characteristic of the Dobunnic Celtic artistic tradition, displaying confident, flowing linework within the confines of the small flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dobunni occupied the Severn Valley and Cotswold region, and their coinage tradition developed partly through contact with Gaulish tribes whose own stater designs ultimately derived from the gold philippus — the Macedonian stater of Philip II that flooded into western Europe through mercenary payments. By the time designs reached the Dobunni, abstraction had dissolved the original imagery almost completely. The three-wheel motif on this quarter stater is among the most reduced iterations in British Celtic coinage, likely a regional workshop convention rather than deliberate iconographic choice.
