The Duro Boat Gold quarter staters were minted by the Durotriges around 80-50 BC. They are a continuation of the boat and geometric theme started by the Morini tribe with their GB-Ca2 and GB-D quarter staters. This coin is particularly interesting because the obverse has been triple struck. For whatever reason, the person minting this coin struck it with the hammer at least three times, with the coin sticking to the reverse (hammer) die but moving relative to the obverse (anvil) die with each strike.
This is one of seven in the collection (see 7, 8, 12, 16, 51, and 112).
Note that despite being a “Scarce” coin (51 to 100 known), it is not listed in Spink’s “Coins of England and The United Kingdom: Standard Catalogue of British Coins” book. The number normally given is S.368 but the book is quite clear that is for the silver coins only.
