| Beschrijving keerzijde | Anepigraphic reverse struck on an irregular, slightly convex flan. The design features a bold, deeply incised geometric pattern of intersecting angular lines and rectangular forms, representing a highly abstracted and degenerate derivative of a classical chariot or wheel motif. The composition is dominated by strong diagonal and orthogonal raised ridges dividing the field into angular segments, with a curvilinear scroll or triskelion-like element visible to the left. The field is otherwise plain, with no inscription or border, typical of the late uninscribed Durotrigan quarter stater series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Durotriges occupied the territory of modern Dorset and parts of Somerset and Wiltshire, and their coinage tells a story of accelerating debasement — this quarter stater sits at the relatively early, higher-gold end of a sequence that would eventually collapse into uninscribed cast bronze. The "boat" type takes its name from the distinctive arc of pellets that developed as the original Macedonian prototype was copied and recopied across generations of British die-cutters, each step further removed from the source.
Julius Caesar's two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC fall squarely within this type's production window, though no direct connection to those events has been established.
