| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cruciform design dividing the flan into four quadrants, each containing a pellet-in-annulet motif rendered in low relief. The arms of the cross are formed by rows of raised pellets or corded lines, creating a highly stylized geometric composition characteristic of late Iron Age British Celtic coinage. The overall design is derived from the abstracted reverse of Macedonian gold staters, reduced over generations of Celtic die-cutting into a bold, symmetrical pattern. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with typical hammered fabric. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Addedomarus was the first named ruler of the Trinovantes to strike coins in his own name, a significant break from the uninscribed abstract coinage his tribe had produced for decades. The Trinovantes, based in what is now Essex and Suffolk, had briefly fallen under Catuvellaunian dominance before reasserting independence — this coinage likely signals that political recovery. The shift toward inscribed issues across southern Britain during this period broadly reflects increasing contact with the Roman world following Caesar's expeditions of 55 and 54 BC.
Gold staters of this type are struck from alloy noticeably debased relative to earlier Gaulish prototypes.
