Description: | An early uninscribed Iron Age gold stater, dating to c. 60-50 BC. Probably originating in the Southeast of England in areas attributed to native populations now known as the Regini and Atrebates peoples. One side depicts a crescentic, linear, and dotted design recently called 'wreath design with hidden faces'; the other side depicts a triple-tailed horse facing right, wheel below and charioteer's arms above. The coin is off-struck on the latter side, which means that some decorative elements were truncated. It measures 19.90 mm long, 17.75 mm wide, 3.43 mm approx. thickness, and weighs 5.78 grams.Cf. ABC 485; BMC Nos. 445, 447, 449-54; VA Nos. 210, 212-215.
