Description: | Description The find comprises a 'Gallo-Belgic' Aa class 4 gold stater. Diameter: 22.2mm; thickness: 1.4mm; weight: 7.2g. Coins of this type were struck in the Somme valley area of N.W. France in the mid-2nd century BC. They are traditionally attributed to the Ambiani.Recommendation The above coin is clearly more than 300 years old. It is struck from a metal alloy well above the 10% precious metal threshold stipulated by the Treasure Act. Although it is a single coin, the circumstances of discovery as reported by the finder leave little doubt that it should be considered as an addendum to 2011 T119. The coin is of exactly the same type as the two coins that made up the earlier Treasure case.Conclusion This coin should be regarded as an addendum to 2011 T119 and a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996). Dr Ian Leins, Curator of Iron Age and Roman Coins, the British MuseumCoin registered with CCI as 11.1319
