Description: | A gold plated uninscribed (North-Eastern) Corieltavi "Ferribly" type stater, with a base metal core. There are small areas where the gold plating is incomplete, showing a corroded dark brown base metal below. There are also some green deposits on the gold surface. The coin is probably a contemporary copy. Similar to Hobbs (1996) 3152 and 3155. Very similar to CCI 001519 (bronze, apparently plated) and CCI 930419 (recorded as gold) on the Celtic Coin Index (www.finds.org.uk/cci). Coin reference: Van Asdell 811. Hobbs (1996, figure 2) dates the Ferriby type to the mid to late 1st century BC. Diameter: 18.9mm, mass: 3.28g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
