Early uninscribed British B gold stater, 'Chute' type
This coin has been registered on the CCI as 08.6282
This is an are early uninscribed Iron Age gold coins of a type known as British B or 'Chute' type staters. Coins of this type were produced in the Dorset-Wiltshire-Isle of Wight area in around 80-60 BC. During the late Iron Age this area is thought to have been inhabited by a people known as the Durotriges.
Notes:
One of two Iron Age coins were recovered by metal-detector users Julian Adams and Reginald Bruce in Tarrant Valley, Dorset in April 2005. They clearly represent addenda to an earlier hoard from the same findspot discovered in several batches between 2001 and 2002. The present coins were reported in March 2007 and brought to the British Museum in November 2007.
