Description: | An fragment of a Roman, struck or hammered, copper alloy coin, denomination possibly an As or nummus AE1/2 or follis of unknown Emperor. Obverse: Possible vague head outline. Inscription: Illegible. Reverse: Blank. Inscription: Illegible. The coin is extremely worn and in poor condition with extensive corrosion, irregular edges, very pitted surface and completely broken through forming a hole at one point. On one half the coin there is a rusty brown surface, probably as a result of water logged ground conditions and on the other half of the coin there is a pale green verdigris. The coin is likely to date to 43-400AD. Ref. Coins of England and the UK, Spink 2011, page 50-79. The coin is 22.68mm long, 18.89mm wide, 2.04mm thick, diameter 22.68mm and weighs 1.8g.
