| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly schematised and abstracted horse motif rendered in purely geometric form, reduced to a rectilinear stepped outline with angular limbs and a stylised body, consistent with the late Durotrigan coinage tradition. A pellet appears below the horse in the lower field, with additional pellets and linear elements scattered across the flat flan. The design shows extreme degradation from its Gallo-Belgic prototype, with no recognisable naturalistic detail remaining. No legend, inscription, or charioteer is present, and the overall style is characteristic of the final phase of Durotrigan silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Durotriges occupied what is now Dorset and parts of Somerset and Wiltshire, and their coinage tells a story of deliberate, progressive debasement — this quarter stater falls within the earlier, higher-silver phase before the tribe's issues deteriorated into essentially tin-washed base metal. That decline tracks directly with the mounting pressure of Roman encroachment in the decades before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD. Hoards from Dorset, particularly around the hillfort at Maiden Castle, have produced concentrations of Durotrigan issues suggesting rapid burial during periods of instability.
