Stater. Probably North East Coast Reduced Weight stater of the Corieltauvi, Corieltauvian B, as per Van Arsdell 804-1. Van Arsdell dates this to 55-45 BC; this equates to Haselgrove Period 2 phases 5-6, or Rudd and Cottam's ABC phases 5-6. This coin is virtually in mint condition, [just] exceeding the heaviest weight Van Arsdell suggests for the type, and with all fine detail unworn, and agreeing exactly with his detailed description.
