| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and largely blank convex field, representing the ultimate devolution of the laureate head derived from the Macedonian stater prototype. The design has been reduced to an almost featureless dome of polished gold, retaining only vestigial surface texture around the periphery in the form of a rudimentary cable or pellet border. No legible figural elements, inscription, or legend are present, reflecting the advanced abstract idiom characteristic of late Insular Celtic coinage. The flan is markedly convex and of irregular outline, consistent with hand-hammered production on a cast blank. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Durotriges occupied what is now Dorset and parts of Somerset and Wiltshire, and their coinage tells a story of progressive debasement — gold staters like this one represent the earlier, relatively pure end of a sequence that would deteriorate into uninscribed billon and eventually cast bronze issues by the time of the Roman conquest. The tribe never adopted legends on their coinage, leaving attribution entirely dependent on find-spot distribution and die analysis.
Sills' classification of Insular X types draws heavily on hoard evidence from sites concentrated in Durotrigian territory. The Horton designation references findspot geography in the broader Cranborne Chase area.
