A complete copper alloy possible uninscribed south-eastern Iron Age unit, dating to the mid 1st century BC to early 1st century AD. The flan is unusually flat, but the visible elements of the design suggest an Iron Age rather than Roman date. It may possibly even be the core of a plated copy.
c.f. Hobbs 1996, 149, no.2478 & 2479.
