Description: | A group of three copper-alloy Roman coins - either 3rd-century radiates or 4th-century nummi. They are characterised by high levels of wear and corrosion and the fact that they are all pierced towards the circumference. The piercing was presumably for conversion to an item of jewellery, probably in the early-medieval period. The coin with an identifiable obverse bust, probably a Valentinianic nummus, has been pierced at about 10 o'clock on this face. The coins range in length from 18.8mm to 15.15mm; the smallest has suffered some circumferential losses.
