| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heavily corroded and irregularly shaped flan with residual gold plating visible across the surface, the underlying bronze core exposed in numerous areas due to wear and corrosion. The central field retains traces of a stylised design typical of late Celtic coinage, rendered in the debased, schematic manner characteristic of contemporary counterfeits. The abbreviated legend DV-MN, referencing the issuing authority Dumnocoveros, is partially discernible within the field in crude Latin characters. The overall execution reflects the hasty workmanship of a clandestine workshop operating in imitation of official Gaulish or British stater coinage of the early first century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Dobunni staters are well documented, and examples attributable to the Dumnocoveros/Tigirseno period suggest organized, locally-produced forgery rather than opportunistic copying. The gold plating on these pieces was applied before striking — not after — meaning the forger used the same basic production sequence as a legitimate mint, simply substituting a bronze flan. Detection in everyday Iron Age exchange would have been difficult until the plating wore through.
