A worn silver unit of Cunobelinus, dating to the period c. AD 10-40. This is only the third silver unit of this type recorded by the PAS, although several others (without provenance) have been recorded with the CCI. The other PAS examples are clearer (see HESH- and NARC-AD1978); because of the wear the reverse image may not be aligned correctly. BMC Hobbs p. 130, 1886-8; Van Arsdell 2063.
