Silver 1/2 Unit - Dubnovellaunos Dubnovellaunos Scissors

Dubnovellaunos ruled jointly over the Trinovantes and later the Cantii in the decades surrounding the Caesarian and Augustan interventions in Britain — a period when southern British rulers were actively negotiating diplomatic relationships with Rome while simultaneously minting coins that owed almost nothing to Roman monetary conventions. The "scissors" type, named by modern scholars for the shear-like motif derived from increasingly abstracted continental prototypes, represents a late stage in that devolution of imagery.

At 0.8g, these fractional pieces suggest a functioning small-denomination economy among the Trinovantes, though the precise exchange relationships remain disputed.
