Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

A complete gold Iron Age stater of Cunobelin (Eastern series, attributed to the Catuvellauni and Trinovantes), dating to the period AD 8-41. The coin is a 'Cunobelinus Plastic' type and was struck at Camulodunon. The flan is irregular (oval) in shape and the reverse die has been struck off-flan, as the lower inscription under the horse is completely absent. The coin is in very good condition with only one area of wear to the obverse, however this may be from a worn die as the rest of the detail on both faces of the coin is in exceptional condition. ABC 2786 / BMC 1809-1812, VA 2010.
