COIN

Unique ID: BERK-B64E88

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A worn and off-flan copper alloy Roman radiate, probably of Tetricus II (AD 271-273). The reverse of the coin has been struck heavily off-flan, and appears to be from a poor die; it is therefore possible that this is a barbarous radiate (contemporary copy) dating to the period AD 275-285. Reece Period 14.
