Ian Leins: These silver units are still quite rare, although Liz Andrews-Wilson recorded quite a few in Sussex a few years back. It is published in the new Chris Rudd catalogue - Ancient British Coinage - \"ABC\" type 216. Not in VA or BM catalgoues. c. 50-20 BC, attributed to the Kent coinage (\"Cantii\"). The type was published in BNJ coin register 1986.<\/p>

An incomplete late Iron Age to early Roman copper alloy zoomorphic end-looped cosmetic mortar (1st century BC \u2013 1st century AD). The cast copper alloy cosmetic mortar has an oval section and a slight curve throughout its length; there is a deep recession in its upper edge, inset only slightly from each end of the object. At one end, the gently curving mortar terminates in a rectangular-sectioned knop that has been pierced with a circular hole to create an attachment loop. At the opposite end, the mortar thickens into an irregular section, to form the neck of a zoomorphic terminal. The terminal projects upwards and outwards from this to form the head of a beast with a blunt, triangular muzzle which has an incised open mouth. From the top of the beast\u2019s head project two mismatching ears, one of which points outwards along the same axis as the brow and the other of which points upwards. Beneath these on each side, a deep circular eye has been incised: the eyes are not level. From the centre of the base of the mortar projects a rectangular-sectioned knop that has broken quite close to the base, leaving two small projecting tips. This suggests either the knop divided into two feet, or it originally had a hole pierced through it. Either way, it was probably intended to steady the mortar during use (Jackson 1975). The mortar is fairly worn and has a dark green-brown patina, with patches of a far brighter green corrosion.<\/p>\n
Jackson (1975), illustrates several similar examples, p. 177 ref. 4-5, with ref. 4 having a steadying knop projecting from the bottom of the mortar, but ref. 5 displaying a more similar end-loop; both examples have zoomorphic terminals that are slightly bovid. Jackson (1975) struggles to assign a specific date range, but suggests that the insularity of the artefact type point to it originating prior to the Roman conquest.<\/p>\n

An incomplete Iron Age studded bronze harness fitting, broken across the perforation, possibly a strap mount. The perforation has an internal curve indicating it may have accommodated a ring rather than a stud. A small hole intruding on the upper face of the perforation suggests the harness fitting was probably miscast. The bar of the harness fitting divides decoratively to meet two knobs, which are spiked on the underside; there is also a knobbed spike at the axis of the bar with the fitting hoop. The hoop has been corroded on the inner face.<\/p>

A gold bar fragment of uncertain date, possibly Iron Age (800BC - 100AD). The fragment has a circular cross-section and each end is snipped off at 90\u00ba to each other. Curator's report: 2009T265 Description: A cut fragment of round section Discussion: Cut sections of gold metal have been discovered at the Iron Age site of Snettisham, Norfolk, and therefore it was considered that this object may also date from the same period. Unfortunately this object is undiagnostic, and as such metal analysis was requested. Non-destructive analysis of the surface metal content shows it is 84-87% gold, 11-13% silver and 1% copper. This metal composition would be consistent for the Iron Age period but this does not definitively identify this object as Iron Age in date. It is therefore possible that this object dates to the Iron Age but we cannot be certain. Conclusion: The object is over 80% gold so qualifies as Treasure in this respect. Based on form and metal composition, it could date to the Iron Age but it is impossible to be certain as there were no associated finds. It is therefore impossible to be certain that this object is over 300 years old. On the balance of probabilities we can therefore only state that this object is possibly Iron Age; therefore due to this lack of certainty in dating the object falls outside the stipulations for Treasure as laid out in the Treasure Act 1996.

A previous find of 16 Iron Age coins was made in June and July 2008 by the same finder in the same location (2008 T412).<\/p>\n
\nLike the previous 16 coins, this coin is also a 'Flat Linear I' potin. While the majority of Iron Age coins were produced by striking a gold, silver or bronze blank between a pair of dies, potins were instead cast in moulds and made from a lead\/tin-rich bronze alloy. Although highly abstract, it is clear that their designs copied earlier types which depicted a human head and a butting bull, originally derived from the coinage of the Greek city of Massalia (Marseille, France). Flat Linear potins were produced in Kent and the south-east in the mid first century BC.<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>","notes":"
The present find easily satisfies the terms of the Treasure Act with regard to its age, being clearly more than 300 years old. Considering this coin as an addendum to the previous find of 16 coins, the total size of the hoard is over 10 base metal coins (now a total of 17).<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
Of the same find?
\nThe type and reported circumstances of discovery strongly suggest that this coin formed a single group with the previous find of 16 (2008 T412) at the time of their burial in antiquity.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
I would conclude that the present coin should be regarded as a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996).<\/p>

\nCurator's report:
\nThe Coins
\nAll sixteen coins belong to a class of Iron Age coins known as 'Flat Linear I' potins. While the majority of Iron Age coins were produced by striking a gold, silver or bronze blank between a pair of dies, potins were instead cast in moulds and made from a lead\/tin-rich bronze alloy. Although highly abstract, it is clear that their designs copied earlier types which depicted a human head and a butting bull, originally derived from the coinage of the Greek city of Massalia (Marseille, France). Flat Linear potins were produced in Kent and the south-east in the mid first century BC. The coins can be summarised as follows:<\/p>
\n1. Weight: 1.35g\t\t\tRegistered as CCI 08.6287\t LON-2BCD30

\nCCI = Celtic Coin Index, Oxford & London<\/p>
\nThe present find easily satisfies the terms of the Treasure Act with regard to their age, metal and number. The coins are clearly more than 300 years old and there are more than ten base metal coins.<\/p>
\nThe type and reported circumstances of discovery strongly suggest that these coins formed a single group at the time of their burial in antiquity.<\/p>
\nI would conclude that the present coins should be regarded as a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996).<\/p>

\nCurator's report:
\nThe Coins
\nAll sixteen coins belong to a class of Iron Age coins known as 'Flat Linear I' potins. While the majority of Iron Age coins were produced by striking a gold, silver or bronze blank between a pair of dies, potins were instead cast in moulds and made from a lead\/tin-rich bronze alloy. Although highly abstract, it is clear that their designs copied earlier types which depicted a human head and a butting bull, originally derived from the coinage of the Greek city of Massalia (Marseille, France). Flat Linear potins were produced in Kent and the south-east in the mid first century BC. The coins can be summarised as follows:<\/p>
