| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Celtic artistic tradition with bold, simplified forms. The wreath is indicated by crude pellet-and-arc motifs, and the hair is arranged in a series of shallow crescents separated by a prominent hair bar. The facial features are reduced to schematic elements typical of late Durotrigan coinage, reflecting the progressive debasement and stylistic degeneration of the original Gallo-Belgic prototype. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| 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.
