Description: | A complete but worn Iron Age silver unit of Tincomanus of the Regini, dating to the period 25 BC to AD 10. The unit can be described as Cottam et al.'s 'Tincomarus Cross Lion' type (ABC 1124), with the first four letters of the ruler's name spaced around a long armed cross on the obverse. The obverse depicts a prancing lion with bucranium (bu;;'s skull) below. Cottam et al. (2010) note that one reverse die of this issue was shared with another series of coins, however from the available information the reverse of this unit does not seem to be that die. The reverse die herein is also slightly different to that recorded in ABC, with the bucranium located further below the lion than that illustrated.
