| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly stylized and disjointed horse facing left, dissolved into its constituent abstract elements in the characteristic Durotrigan manner. The body is represented by a central mass of globular pellets, with vestigial legs depicted as short club-ended lines below. Surrounding decorative elements include a square, a spiral or annulet to the right, and a linear motif to the lower right, while a zigzag or toothed border runs along the lower margin of the flan. No charioteer or driver is discernible, the design having reached an advanced stage of Celtic abstraction far removed from its Philippic gold stater prototype. |

The Durotriges, occupying what is now Dorset and parts of Somerset, continued striking silver-bearing coinage well after neighboring tribes had abandoned the practice under Roman economic pressure. By the time this type was being produced, the silver content had degraded so severely through successive debasements that some late examples are effectively bronze washed with trace billon — the tribe apparently unwilling or unable to source adequate bullion as the conquest disrupted traditional trade networks with Armorica.
Caesar's campaigns in Gaul between 58 and 51 BC effectively severed the cross-Channel exchange routes that had supplied much of southern Britain's silver. The Durotriges held out against Roman control longer than most tribes in the south, likely resisting until Vespasian's campaign of around 43–47 AD.
