heres some more info on it
40. Rose Wings. NT5-6. c.55-45 BC. AV quarter.
12mm. 1.20g. Cruciform motif with central fourpetalled ‘rose’, crescents and objects in angles./ Wellformed horse r, with cabled mane, ‘wing’ motif above,
pellet triad under tail, three-petalled rose below. ABC
2469, VA 244, BMC—, S 48. Gd VF, bright golden gold,
neat horse, clear rose.
The crossed wreaths design and the winged symbol above the
horse both tie this very rare gold quarter stater into the Whaddon
Chase series of gold coins. The central ‘rose’ on the obverse is
similar to the flower on the Freckenham Flower gold staters of the
Iceni (ABC 1423-35) except is has four petals, not three. There is
a three-petalled flower under the Rose Wings horse.
