An incomplete and worn copper alloy Roman barbarous radiate (c. AD 275-285, Reece Period 14), cut down to make a late Roman 'minim'. The reverse image is unclear but appears to be one leg of a standing figure. This is one of several barbarous radiates from the same area, with some being on very small flans of having been cut down to form 'minim's.
