A complete Iron Age copper-alloy unit, probably of Tasciovanus, of the Catuvellauni/Eastern Region, dating to the period c. 20 BC-AD 10. Obverse: unclear, but probably a bearded head right. Reverse: horse left with pellet in ring above, possibly with [T]A[S] below. The coin is similar to ABC 2658 and 2661 but these show seahorses, rather than the conventional horse. See also BMC nos. 1714-1723 and VA1707/1709).
