Description: | A thick copper alloy coin, dished reverse but flat and worn obverse. Damaged. Probably a contemporary copy of a gold stater, some similarities to Catuvellauni/Trinovantian types but no close parallel identified in Van Arsdell or Hobbs. Oval flan 15.5mm x 18mm.
Philip de Jersey comments:
We have records of three other examples of this type. It appears to be a very base gold stater which accompanies one of the silver early pattern/horse types of the Iceni (VA 679).
The first example, apparently from Norfolk, was published by Simon Bean in Spink's Numismatic Circular for October 1996, p. 367. There is a (not very good) picture on the web at

Since then, two more have turned up, one said to be from North Cambs and now in a private collection (CCI 01.0198, 4.93g), and more recently one apparently found near Fincham in Norfolk which was published by John Talbot in Chris Rudd list 69 (2003), pp. 6-7 (CCI 03.0216, 5.12g).
This coin recorded as CCI 07.0001 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
