Title
COIN
Description
English:

An Iron Age gold quarter stater of the Western Region / East Wiltshire, dating to the period c.60-20 BC. Obverse: Wreath design with hidden face and wheel. Reverse: Triple-tailed horse right with beaded mane, pellet in ring between mane and neck, floral sun above, wheel below.

This is an unknown variety of quarter stater belonging to a larger group of coins derived from British Qc types. It appears to combine an obverse that is close to the 'Three Wheels Right' type of East Wiltshire (ABC no. 2093) with a reverse similar to the standard British Qc/Selsey Dahlia type (ABC 500). John Sills (pers. comm.) notes that it could belong at the start of the Three Wheels Right issue before the third wheel was added above the horse, or alternatively could be a previously unrecorded local issue, but requires further examples to clarify one way or the other.
