| 正面描述 | Highly stylised, abstracted derivation of an Apollo head facing right, rendered in the curvilinear Celtic idiom with the wreath reduced to a series of arcs concealing the facial features. The central field is dominated by a seven- or eight-spoked wheel with a prominent axle boss. A projecting spike, flanked by three pellet-in-ring ornaments, extends from the design, serving as a characteristic decorative element of this regional type. |

| 背面描述 | 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. |

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.
