Description: | Bronze Iron Age unit of Cunobelin from the North Thames region. Three parallels exist for the coin, all on the Celtic Coin Index, the best example being CCI 963165. Earlier examples of this type have been attributed to Cunobelin due to possible readings of their crude inscriptions as CAMVL or CVNO, as well as on stylistic grounds (similarities to Hobbs BMC 1944; VA 2095 have been noted by Philip de Jersey). Two of the three CCI examples also have reliable provenances in Essex. It is, however, difficult to read the inscription on this example as CAMVL[...] or CVNO[...]. The surviving part appears to read V C (retrograde) M [...]. It is possible that the this marks the coin out as a contemporary imitation of a regular issue of Cunobelin.
