status: Awaiting validation 
Iron Age coin; copper-alloy possible bronze fractional unit of uncertain type based on the weight & size but details too worn to decipher precisely, probably of North Eastern type (Corieltavi). Obverse probably shows a horse with three pellets or a ring of pellets above with the reverse motif being illegible. In line with this probable identification minted c.50-20 BC.
