| Aversbeschreibung | Plain field bearing the distinctive Dobunnic tree symbol, rendered as a central vertical stalk with ten lateral branches extending symmetrically to the right, terminating in rounded tips. A single pellet is positioned at the base of the trunk. The design is executed in low relief, consistent with the irregular flan and crude workmanship characteristic of a contemporary counterfeit produced on a bronze core. No inscription or border ornament is present. |

Contemporary counterfeits of Dobunni staters are well-documented in the archaeological record, and their existence speaks to the sophistication — and the vulnerabilities — of late Iron Age coin use in Britain. Plated forgeries were produced by smiths who understood that coinage circulated on trust rather than regular assay. The Comux Comux series, attributed to a ruler of the northern Dobunni territory in the Severn valley region, was itself a late issue, struck in the years immediately preceding or coinciding with the Claudian invasion of 43 AD.
At 3.79g, this piece falls noticeably short of the genuine stater standard, which is itself part of how plated forgeries eventually failed — the bronze core adds less mass than the gold it mimics.
