Whaddon Chase gold staters are among the most distinctive of ancient British coins because of their cruciform obverse design. Unlike the later Addedomaros staters of similar design, these early Whaddon Chase staters are struck in a golden gold. This a glorious example which easily qualifies as 'extremely fine'. This particular type was not included in the celebrated Whaddon Chase, Buckinghamshire, hoard of 1849, though it was illustrated by William Stukeley, the 'Arch-Druid' of Stonehenge fame, in his Twenty-Three Plates of the Coins of the Ancient British Kings, published in 1776.
