The Durotriges stater c. 60-20 BC is an Iron Age Celtic coin issued by the Durotriges tribe of south-west Britain, mainly in modern Dorset and surrounding areas. The obverse usually shows a highly stylised human head, derived from earlier classical prototypes. The reverse features an abstract horse with pellets and geometric symbols, a hallmark of British Celtic coinage. These staters reflect a local, non-Roman economy shortly before the Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43. NGC certifies most US, world, and ancient coins, tokens, and medals.
