| 裏面の説明 | Prominent bold cross motif in high relief dominating the entire field, with four arms radiating from a central pellet boss toward the scalloped flan edges, each arm featuring curved, tapering linear extensions reminiscent of a stylised solar or wheel symbol. The cross design is characteristic of the Ringwood Cross type attributed to the Durotriges, executed without legend or additional ornament, with the irregular flan boundary framing the design. |

The Durotriges occupied a territory roughly corresponding to modern Dorset and Somerset, and their coinage tells a story of deliberate economic decline — the gold content of their staters dropped progressively from roughly 50% to near-zero over the decades preceding and following Caesar's expeditions, eventually producing the uninscribed bronze and potin issues they became known for. The Ringwood Cross type sits near the earlier, higher-gold phase of this debasement sequence.
The "Ringwood" designation comes from the Hampshire town near which a significant number of these pieces have been recovered, suggesting either a mint site or a major redistribution point in tribal exchange networks.
