1/2 Gold Stater uniface

The Durocasses were a Gallic people centered around present-day Dreux, in the Eure-et-Loir. Their coinage is among the thinner-documented series in the Celtic Gaulish corpus, and uniface staters — struck on one die only, leaving the reverse blank or showing only the flan's surface — reflect either a deliberate regional minting convention or a pragmatic shortcut during periods of disrupted production, possibly accelerated by Caesar's campaigns pushing through northern Gaul after 58 BC. DT#2562 is documented but specimens are infrequent in trade, the Durocasses having struck in comparatively small volume relative to neighboring peoples such as the Carnutes.
