| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly abstracted zoomorphic motif facing right, generally interpreted as a boar derived from the 'three men in a boat' or 'wolf and twins' prototype, rendered in the typical British Late Iron Age stylized manner. The design is composed of a series of curved and angular relief lines that have become highly degenerate through successive copying. A single annulet is positioned to the right of the central motif within the field. The flan is irregular in outline and the overall strike is typical of a clandestine contemporary forgery produced from a base bronze core subsequently gold-plated. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Iron Age staters and fractional pieces were produced across southern Britain and Gaul throughout the late pre-Roman period, typically by stripping the thin gold wash over a base-metal core — a fraud detectable even then by cutting or biting. The Clacton type belongs to a regional coinage tradition of Essex and the Thames estuary zone, and a plated subærate forgery of this denomination implies enough legitimate gold currency in local circulation to make imitation worth the effort and risk.
