| Beschrijving voorzijde | Largely plain convex field, anepigraphic, retaining only faint vestigial traces of a crossed-wreath design derived from the Macedonian gold stater prototype. The surface shows significant wear and corrosion consistent with a base-metal core, with residual gold wash visible in protected areas. No legend or inscription present. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular, slightly lobed outline typical of hand-struck Celtic issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on the modern Gloucestershire and Somerset region, and their coinage — including plated forgeries like this piece — circulated alongside uninscribed types well before Roman contact reshaped the tribal economy. Plated staters are a known phenomenon across late Iron Age Britain, debated endlessly as either official emergency issues, deliberate deceptions by forgers operating outside tribal authority, or the product of worn dies being used for substandard blanks.
The Savernake Forest find-spot places this coin in Dobunnic peripheral territory, near the boundary with Atrebatic influence.
