| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly schematized and debased rendering of an Apollo head in left-facing profile, derived from the Macedonian stater prototype but reduced to crude abstract elements. The wreath, rendered with upward-pointing leaves, the cloak, and crescents are all present but heavily stylized, consistent with the degenerate Celtic coinage tradition of the Durotriges. The laurel leaf design is present on the die but was not fully struck up on the flan, resulting in incomplete surface detail in that area. The overall style reflects a contemporary counterfeit produced within or near the Cranborne Chase region, imitating official Durotrigian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cranborne Chase type is among the most extensively studied series of Celtic British coinage, and the contemporary counterfeits within it present a genuine classificatory puzzle — they were not crude forgeries meant to deceive for a single transaction, but rather silver-plated pieces produced during a period when the Durotriges were already debasing their own official issues toward uninscribed cast bronze. The line between "official" and "counterfeit" in this series is functionally blurred; the tribe's own silver content was falling so sharply through this period that a plated bronze piece may have circulated without meaningful fraud.
