| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylised representation of a horse in motion, rendered in the abstracted La Tène Celtic manner, with the body broken into component curved and angular elements. A prominent central wheel or rayed annulet device dominates the upper field, formed by a central pellet surrounded by an annulet and radiating spokes, which is the defining type-marker of this Dobunnic series. Crescent and pellet devices fill the field around the horse, while a spiral or scroll motif is visible in the lower right. The overall composition is characteristic of the Dobunni quarter stater tradition, combining the vestigial horse motif with the distinctive wheel-and-annulet symbol. No inscriptions are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dobunni occupied the Cotswold region of central Britain and were among the more politically stable of the southern tribes in the decades before and after Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC. Their coinage tradition developed independently of direct Roman influence, drawing instead on continental Gaulish prototypes that had filtered across the Channel over the preceding century. This particular fractional issue belongs to a phase of Dobunnic production before the tribe began adopting inscribed coinage under named rulers — a transition that would begin sometime in the early first century AD.
