Rose gold coin fragment. Probably an uninscribed South Ferriby gold stater of the Corieltauvi, ABC 1743, Haselgrove Period 2 Phase 6 issue of 50-20 BC; Rudd et al. consider the versions with a blank obverse to be 'Rare'. At least two thirds of flan are lost to a probably recent break, suggesting the complete coin to have weighed around 6gms.
