This Belgae “Cogwheel Smiler” Gold Quarter Stater, struck in the 1st century BC, is an exceptionally rare type with only 8 examples known. Featuring the distinctive turf cutter motif alongside cogwheels, and a beautifully stylised horse beneath a floral sun and comet, the design perfectly captures the bold imagination of Celtic art.
Rarely offered for sale and believed to be closely related to the famous Cheriton Smiler staters, this piece is not only historically important but visually unforgettable.
Now part of The London Collection of Ancient British Coins, showcasing some of the finest and rarest coins from Iron Age Britain ever assembled. Head to our website for more information.
