Coin data quality rating: Fair (Grade 2)
De Jersey (2015) lists a "group of coins, some of which - but not all - were apparently found on the beach at Clacton in February 1905. Four of them - a Gallo-Belgic A stater, one British La, one British Lb, and the Addedomaros stater - were in the Laver collection which was acquired by Colchester Museum in 1941, and seem to be reliably provenanced...To these may be added another British La stater, found in 1930, and possibly a second British Lb identified in the trade in 1992 (Sills 2003, 358)...Allen (1960a, 202) also recorded a quarter stater found on the beach in 1924 which Haselgrove (1987, 272 no. 7) includes in his hoard figures; Sills (2003, 358) omits it.
It is unclear whether these coins had any association with the Clacton 1898 hoard"
