Stater 'Dobunnic E' - Comux

The Dobunni occupied a territory centered on what is now Gloucestershire, and their coinage sequence is reconstructed almost entirely from hoards and single-field finds — no ancient written source names their rulers directly. "Comux" is read from the coin's own inscription, making it one of the few Dobunnic names recoverable at all. Whether these inscribed names denote kings, sub-kings, or something else entirely remains genuinely contested among Iron Age specialists.

Dobunnic staters are notable for the degree to which their die-cutting diverged from Gallo-Belgic prototypes over successive generations, producing increasingly abstracted forms that appear to have been a deliberate local stylistic choice rather than simple degradation of the original design.
