Description: | Treasue case 2013 T132: Acquired by Salisbury and South Wiltshire MuseumThe coin is an uninscribed South Western Iron Age silver stater (attributed to the Durotriges). It is of the so-called 'Badbury Rings' type, made sometime between about 50 BC and AD 10. The obverse shows a stylised human head with a prominent wreath and the reverse an abstract horse, facing left. The Badbury Rings type is distinguished by the presence of a series of circular motifs above the horse (visible in the top corner of the right-hand image below).References: ABC (Cottam et al 2010) 2163; VA (Van Arsdell 1989) 1246; BMC (Hobbs 1996) 2647.This is an addendum to cases 2012 T240 and 2012 T378 previously reported by Laura Burnett and Ian Leins. From the report of the finder the original coins were scattered within the plough soil in a close concentration with no evidence of a container. It was noted that the previous finds were a unified group that appeared to have been deposited together. They were a mixed group but all were of very similar types, issued in the same geographical area during the same period.This coin is of the same type as other examples in 2012 T240 and 2012 T378.
