COIN
Unique ID: KENT-D3AC93
Object type certainty: Certain
A complete, probable late Roman, struck or hammered, copper alloy, probable barbarous copy or imitation of a nummus or AE4. Obverse: Possible head outline. Inscription: Illegible. Reverse: Central standing figure probably left. Inscription: Illegible. Mint: Britain by provenance. Possibly Reece period 17-21. Die axis: Possibly 2 o'clock. The coin is extremely worn, in poor condition and has a corroded surface with a slightly uneven flan. There is a rusty brown, partially glossy and matt surface, probably as a consequence of being found in water logged ground conditions. This coin is likely to date to 330-399AD. Ref.
