Comment
Abstract billon type; BMC 2525-2731; Mack 317Interesting fact
The Durotrigan E Silver Stater coin features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stylized horse and rider, which is unlike any other Celtic coinage of that time. This suggests that the Durotriges tribe may have had a distinct cultural or artistic influence that set them apart from other Celtic tribes in Britain.
