背面描述 An annulate horse prances rightward, its body composed of ring-and-pellet elements consistent with the Late Whaddon Chase stylistic repertoire. Above the horse, a degraded waterspout motif incorporating a floral or vegetal pattern and the remnants of a schematised bird occupies the upper field. Pellet-in-ring ornaments appear above, below, and in front of the horse, serving as space-filling decorative devices common to Trinovantian silver coinage of this period. A sunflower motif is positioned in front of the horse, a distinctive identifying feature of this specific variety. The reverse design as a whole exhibits the advanced debasement of classical imagery characteristic of the transitional Whaddon Chase to Trinovantian series.

附加信息

The Whaddon Chase series takes its name from a hoard of around 80 gold staters found in Buckinghamshire in 1849, which established the typological framework for this entire coinage group. The silver units associated with the Late Whaddon Chase tradition represent a fractional currency operating alongside the gold, likely used for smaller-scale exchanges within Trinovantian territory — the tribe that controlled much of modern Essex and Hertfordshire before and during Caesar's two British expeditions of 55 and 54 BC.

The "Thatcher's Sister" designation is a modern dealer nickname, not an ancient classification — a reminder that Celtic numismatic nomenclature often reflects find circumstances or whim rather than scholarship.
