Description: | A first for CPAT, a fragment of a silver or bronze stater, most probably from the uninscribed examples from the Durotriges, who inhabited West Hampshire, Dorset and parts of Somerset during the 1st century BC to the 1st Century AD. That in itself is interesting as these coins are not well known this far north.In close examination, it is most probably bronze. Although some bronze examples from this tribe were cast, this is certainly a 'struck' coin and in style, copies the 'westerham type (Seaby 21). That style has the devolved head of Apollo and the disjointed horse with pellets. This coin has been damaged in antiquity, perhaps in fire and has lost much of the flan along with some of the design. The patination is a very dark black/green with a small rubbed area of copper alloy red showing through the patination to one edge.
