A very worn late first century Iron Age silver minim, of uninscribed type. One side of the coin has been offstruck, and shows a small cross within a pelleted circle; the other shows a reverse bell-shape with an additional pellet to the right. This has similarities to ABC 1142 depicting a Tincomarus Bull's head facing forward (which is a particularly rare coin). Whilst the worn nature of this coin makes certain identification difficult, it is probable that this coin was of a similar type and date (c. 20 BC - AD 10).
