Two Iron Age silver staters, both uninscribed issues of the South Western Durotriges type (ABC no. 2169, BMC 2532-2550. VA 1235), probably dating to 50-20 BC. Coin 1: Diameter 20.59mm; weight 3.08mm; die axis 8 o'clock. Coin 2: Diameter 20.33mm; weight 3.32mm; die axis 2 o'clock Date: Late Iron Age - 50-20 BC.

The coins consist of 11 South Western British uninscribed silver staters commonly associated with the Durotriges, a people thought to have inhabited an area covering the modern county of Dorset, parts of Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire and the Isle of Wight during the late Iron Age.

However in most cases the coin design is too indistinct to be certain that they do not belong to varieties of this type. The coins are fairly worn in appearance an…
