Description: | Ten Iron Age silver staters. Treasure case no. 2010 T307. The coins consist of ten silver uninscribed staters, of types associated with the Durotriges, a people thought to have inhabited an area covering the modern county of Dorset, parts of Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire and the Isle of Wight during the late Iron Age. All were produced in the mid to late first century BC (about 60 to 20 BC). They are all of the same type, VA 1235 / BMC 2525 ff, although one (coin no. 6 superficially appears lower in silver content than the others, but this cannot be verified without analysis).VA = Van Arsdell, Celtic Coinage of Britain, London, 1989; BMC = Hobbs, British Iron Age Coins in the British Museum 1996; CCI = Celtic Coin Index (Oxford and online www.finds.org.uk/CCI).
