Gold 1/4 Stater - Cunobelinus Plastic / Wild A Rounded Leg

Cunobelinus ruled from Camulodunum — modern Colchester — and commanded the most powerful tribal confederation in pre-conquest Britain, a fact that did not escape Roman attention. Shakespeare's Cymbeline is a garbled memory of the man. His coinage is unusually diverse in die variety, and the "Rounded Leg" designation here isolates a specific die characteristic within the Plastic / Wild A classification — a granularity that reflects just how thoroughly this series has been studied relative to its tiny physical scale.

The quarter stater denomination was the workhorse of high-value exchange in the southeast. At 1.3g, the gold content was meaningful.
