Description: | A solid iron object, possibly the lower half of a pair of Roman coin dies. The object is roughly cylindrical, splaying out slightly from the circular, 17.74mm diameter 'striking' surface to a sub-rectangular base (25 x 29mm). No evidence of the design of the coin struck with the die remains unfortunately.Two other Roman iron coin dies, BUC-D08867 and BUC-D099B6 and numerous coin blanks were found nearby at Wing, Bucks and a hoard consisting of three pots of coin blanks and a pair of iron dies were also found nearby at Fenny Stratford [Zeepvat 1994].
