| Obverse description | Heavily corroded and worn field bearing the heavily degraded remnants of a design imitating a Late Iron Age British gold stater of the Chute type, struck on an irregular bronze flan subsequently plated with gold. The original design elements — typically a stylised laureate head derived from the Macedonian stater prototype — are no longer legible, having been entirely obscured by extensive patination, encrustation, and corrosion consistent with the loss of the thin gold wash over the base-metal core. The flan exhibits an irregular, scalloped edge characteristic of hand-struck contemporary counterfeits of the period. |
