Description: | An incomplete contemporary silver plated forgery of a unit of the Dobunni tribe, possibly of the Catti Head Type Class I, dating between 30-43 AD (diameter: 11.7mm; thickness: 1.3mm; weight: 0.55g). The coin is worn and badly corroded with much of the obverse unidentifiable. In Van Arsdell's publication 'Celtic Coinage in Britain', 1989, page 266, it is stated that the Dobunni occupied Gloucestershire & Avon, parts of Herefordshire & Worcestershire, Somerset, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. Their coinage comprises a small number of gold coins, mostly inscribed, and an extensive series of silver units, largely without inscriptions. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 30
