| Beschrijving keerzijde | Disjointed and highly stylised horse galloping left, rendered in the abstract Celtic manner characteristic of Durotrigan issues, with the body fragmented into constituent geometric elements. The tail is elaborately decorated with curvilinear ornaments. In the exergue, an M-shaped device is flanked by ringed pellets on each side, with scattered pellet ornaments populating the surrounding field. The overall composition reflects the advanced stylistic abstraction typical of this late series of Durotrigan staters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Durotriges occupied what is now Dorset and parts of Somerset and Wiltshire, and their coinage tells a story of deliberate economic degradation. Beginning as imitations of the Gallo-Belgic gold stater tradition, Durotrigian issues were progressively debased over roughly a century — gold giving way to silver, silver giving way to billon, until the metal content became almost irrelevant. This piece sits near the terminal point of that process.
The tribe resisted Roman advance longer than most of their neighbors, with significant conflict recorded at Maiden Castle around 43–44 AD — nearly a century after this coin circulated.
