| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised wreath motif with leaves oriented upwards, rendered in the debased Celtic artistic tradition characteristic of contemporary counterfeits of the Early Clacton type. A schematic draped cloak and crude profile head are discernible within the design, executed with noticeably reduced engraving quality compared to official issues. The surface now presents as corroded bronze with green patination, the original gold plating having largely worn away. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the uninscribed tradition of this series. The overall design derives ultimately from the laureate head of Apollo found on the Macedonian gold stater prototype. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Iron Age British coinage are not forgeries in any modern legal sense — they were produced within the same communities, often circulating alongside genuine issues without apparent scandal. The Early Clacton type was itself a derivative of Gallo-Belgic prototypes, so this plated example represents a copy of a copy, already several generations removed from its Macedonian stater ancestor. Whether produced by an entrepreneurial individual or a satellite mint operating outside tribal sanction remains genuinely unresolved.
Plated Celtic issues are far rarer than their solid counterparts, not because fewer were made, but because the bronze core corrodes aggressively, destroying the coin from within.
