| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised horse depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in bold, plastic relief characteristic of the Trinovantian quarter stater series. The tail is rendered as a distinctive triple-strand or branching form, a diagnostic feature of this type. A prominent spoked wheel device occupies the area below the horse, consistent with the 'Essex Wheels' typological designation. An onion-shaped or bulbous vegetal motif is positioned above the horse's back, further enriching the field composition. The flan is irregular and the design is executed with confident, deeply struck relief typical of British Late Iron Age hammered gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Trinovantes occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Essex and southern Suffolk, and were among the more politically consequential tribes of late Iron Age Britain — Julius Caesar names them explicitly in his Gallic War accounts as seeking Roman protection against the Catuvellauni, their aggressive western neighbors. That diplomatic overture, made directly to Caesar during his 54 BC expedition, suggests a tribe already experienced in playing external powers against domestic rivals. This quarter stater likely circulated within that charged political environment, functioning in elite exchange networks rather than everyday commerce.
