| Additional information |
The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on the modern Cotswolds and upper Severn valley, and their coinage developed under influence filtering westward from the Gallo-Belgic issues crossing the Channel. The East Wiltshire/Vale of Pewsey classification places this piece at the geographic fringe of Dobunnic circulation, a zone where tribal boundaries were contested and coin finds cluster along what were likely exchange or tribute routes rather than everyday market use.
Quarter staters of this type were almost certainly not small change — at 1.2g of gold they functioned closer to a measured unit of stored value. ABC 2107 is a relatively scarce subdivision within the broader Dobunnic series.
