Gold 1/4 Stater Whaddon Wings

The Whaddon Chase type takes its name from the Buckinghamshire estate where a significant hoard was discovered in 1849, scattering specimens across early Victorian collections before systematic recording was possible. The Catuvellauni occupied territory roughly corresponding to modern Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and their coinage tradition derived ultimately from Macedonian gold staters carried into Gaul by mercenaries — abstract and fragmented across generations of copying until the original prototype became unrecognizable. This quarter stater represents the smallest practical denomination in that hierarchy.
