This variation of the Branch Type stater is known as the E Type because of the letter E in the abreviated legend DVBNOVELLA. Dubnovellaunos was a king of the Cantiaci in Kent who took over the eastern part of the North Thames region after the death of Addedomaros. His rule ended when he fled to Augustus for protection (Res Gestae Divi Augusti 32.1). He was replaced by Cunobelinus of the Catuvellauni.
Priced low because of the worn obverse.
