Comments
Evans: I.7 (1864, p. 144, pl. I).
Van Arsdell Classification: Dobunnic D, Gold Coins Inscribed Antedrig. Van Arsdell notes modern forgeries (VA 1066 - 01 - F1). Van Arsdell separates the inscription variants into varieties of ‘Antedrig’ unit, although the key letters are often off-flan:
VA 1066 - 01: ANTEΘ. See Chris Rudd's ‘ANTEΘ RIGV’ (Chris Rudd List 169, 10 February 2020, lot 34).
VA 1066 - 03: ANEΘ.
VA 1069 - 01: ANTED. See Chris Rudd's ‘ANTED RIGV’ (Chris Rudd List 152, 10 April 2017, lot 31).
Where the reverse shows RICV or RIGV, the wheel provides the O.
