ABC1971, S414, 20mm, 5.23g

Very Rare

A sharp coin, stuck in low carat gold which is usual for this series, this example being slightly off centre but otherwise sharply struck and with little wear.

A rough find area provenance will be provided with this coin.

Here there are 3 possibilities. Firstly that Dumnocoveros was father of Tigirseno or ‘Old Lord’ who struck these coins. Secondly that Dumnocoveros was high king and that Tigirseno was a sub chieftain. Thirdly that both were of equal status and governed together. Little is known about this king/s and given the small number of coins known it is likely that he didn’t rule for long.
