CELTIC IRON AGE COINS - CATUVELLAUNI - EARLY WHADDON CHASE COGWHEEL GOLD STATER 55-45 BC Obv: wreath motif with inward facing leaves and ornaments in angles. Rev: horse right with beaded mane, wing motif and pellet trefoil above, ellipse and cogwheel in front, cogwheel below. 5.70 grams. Good very fine; neat flan. Rare. Provenance The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket). Published Chris Rudd, List 108, number 44 (this coin). Literature S. 32; BMC 279-286; ABC 2436. Footnotes Chris Rudd notes: 'No, this isn't just another Early Whaddon Chase gold stater. This is a Cogwheel Type gold stater which is a rare type. This excellent example not only shows the wings of the winged sceptre on the obverse, but also a crescentic hidden face like the one on our Commius E-Type gold stater (no 20). The reverse allows us to see not one but two cruciform 'cogwheel' ornaments: one before the horse (complete), the other under the horse (top part). There is also a very bold pellet-triad immediately above the horse's head.'
