Description: | Iron Age quarter stater copy. The object is a contemporary plated copy of a Cunobelin quarter stater. The copper alloy core is visible through the cracks in the edge of the coin. The diameter (11.16mm) is slightly too large for a coin of this type, though the weight (1.35g) is acceptable; the extra diameter added weight to make up for the deficiency of gold. CVN is the standard inscription on a regular quarter stater, where this example reads CVNO. Stylistically, this example is more closely related to a stater (cf Hobbs 1828) than a quarter stater (cf Hobbs 1837ff).
