| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylised and abstracted head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the characteristically degenerate Celtic tradition derived ultimately from Macedonian prototypes. The design retains vestigial elements of the original composition, including a wreath with leaf motifs rising above the head, a draped cloak, and crescent-shaped ornamental forms flanking the central device. The overall execution is schematic, with curvilinear lines replacing naturalistic facial features, reflecting the advanced stage of stylistic abstraction typical of Durotrigan coinage. |

The Durotriges, occupying what is now Dorset and Somerset, produced a coinage in steady decline — beginning with high-silver alloy staters and progressively debasing the metal until some issues were bronze with little or no silver content at all. This piece sits within that degenerative sequence, but as a plated counterfeit rather than an official debasement, it represents someone exploiting the already-collapsing standard. Whether produced by a local entrepreneur or a competing group passing false coin, plated forgeries of Durotrigan issues circulated alongside genuine debased pieces, often indistinguishably.
The "spread tail" variety is a die-linked subtype within the broader Durotrigan series, placing this forgery close enough to the official type to pass.
