status: Awaiting validation 
An uninscribed silver stater of South-Western type, attributed to the Durotriges. Rudd's 'Cranborne Chase' type (ABC 2157), dating to c.58 BC - AD 43. The coin is oval in shape and very worn with some traces of copper corrosion.
Reference: ABC 2157; BMC 2525-46; Van Arsdell 1235.1
The silver content of these staters can vary over a quite wide range perhaps from 70% to 30%. Despite the traces of copper corrosion this appears to be a stater of good silver and is thus likely to be quite early in the series.
