| Beschrijving keerzijde | Schematic representation of a horse facing left, reduced to its most elemental geometric components: five short strokes indicating the body and limbs, with a single isolated leg below, consistent with the 'one leg' type designation. Seven pellets are distributed across the field, likely derived from earlier wheel or star motifs. The overall composition demonstrates the advanced stylisation and fragmentation of the horse motif characteristic of late Durotrigan bronze issues, far removed from the naturalistic equine imagery of earlier Celtic coinage. |

The Durotriges of Dorset and Somerset were among the last British tribes to resist Roman encroachment, and their coinage reflects that isolation. Where neighbouring tribes adopted increasingly Romanised silver and gold issues, the Durotriges retreated into a purely local bronze economy — the result of being cut off from continental trade networks by the mid-first century AD. This type belongs to that terminal phase, struck sometime in the decades before the Claudian invasion of 43 AD effectively ended indigenous tribal minting in the southwest.
The Hengistbury Head site, which gives this series its name, had been the tribe's primary port and trading centre for over a century before Roman disruption strangled that commerce.
