Description: | An Iron Age gold stater, attributed to the Southern tribes of the Atrebates or Regini and dating from c. 60-50 BC. Cf.: ABC no. 485, of 'Selsey Two-face' type (Cottam 2010:47). The face of the coin with 'wreath' design is unclear and the other face depicting a triple-tailed horse right with wheel below and charioteer's arms above has been struck high, eliminating the upper portion of the design. However, the remaining detail suggests that this identification is correct.Where the coin has spread at its circumference it is possible that this has exposed that the coin is in fact thickly plated with gold and has a core of a different material; however, upon careful inspection the FLO believes that this coin is solid gold.
