Two gold aurei of Augustus, addenda to a hoard now numbering eleven coins. Coin 10 was found on 8th August 2021; coin 11 was found on 29th January 2022. Catalogue: 10. Gaius and Lucius type, reverse showing the emperor's two grandsons who predeceased him (RIC I, no. 206, mint of Lyons). Weight 7.80g, date 2 BC to AD 4. This coin has a similar peck to the obverse field in front of the emperor's face to the other nine coins, surely a check mark to ascertain it was not a copy.   11. Augustus, aureus, reverse showing eagle grasping wreath (RIC I, no…

Description: Two aurei of Augustus found in the same area as six other coins recovered previously (2017T827, NMS-297275) and representing an addendum to that group. Each carries a peck mark on the obverse, similar to the peck marks noted on the other coins. The pecking would have been carried out to check that the coins were of gold and not plated forgeries. Date: The lack of any coins of Tiberius implies that this hoard was assembled in the early 1st century AD, probably in the first two decades of the century, in the late Iron Age, and well before the Roman Invasion of AD43. Late Ir…

Three Iron Age silver units, fused together. Only two faces are visible, one of each coin at the two ends of the pile. One is the obverse of an Icenian Pattern-Horse type, the other the reverse of an ECEN Pattern-Horse type. Given that they are fused together it is certain that these coins were concealed together and thus represent a hoard. The date of deposition of this hoard could lie at any time between the very late 1st century BC and the period of the Boudiccan revolt or even a little later.

26 Roman silver denarii, ranging from Republican issues to those of Tiberius. These form an addendum to other coins from this hoard found previously (2012T810, NMS-A00F04; and 2014T94, NMS-0F1E88). They do not change the presumed dating of the loss or deposition of this hoard, probably at the time of the Roman invasion or in the years immediately succeeding it. 1) C.

Hoard of twenty-four Late Iron Age coins, twenty staters and four silver units. The coins were found scattered over a small area; they comprise a mixture of Gallo-Belgic staters, early Norfolk wolf staters of high-purity gold and Bury type silver units. These last two coin types are the earliest of Icenian coins, probably produced in the third quarter of the first century BC and a few years either side of it. We might postulate a date of deposition c.30-0BC 1) Gallo-Belgic uniface stater, weight 6.16g 2) Gallo-Belgic uniface stater, weight 6.21g 3) Gallo-Belgic uniface …

A group of five East Anglian gold staters were found before 22/10/14. Four of the coins below are "Snettisham" or "Freckenham" types, struck in about 20 BC-AD 20, which also made up the first batch of Runhall coins. One is a slightly earlier type of "Norfolk Wolf" gold stater, produced in about 50-20 BC.

The coins can be summarised as follows 9 Snettisham Quarters - all closely grouped from A:1 to D:6 - 8 of the Quarters are die linked from what appears to be the first sequence of the issue - none of the later Quarters with the common obverse die E have been found. 5 Irstead quarters which fall between dies F:6 and H:13 all but the one struck from F:6 being from the final die linked sequence of the issue. I Irstead BHB Quarter from dies A:1 - the "Dubno" obverse. If this group were all one hoard it would suggest that Snettisham Quarters followed or were concurrent …

Description: 54 silver denarii ranging in date from issues of the Roman Republic to those of Tiberius. The coins were found scattered over a relatively small area and represent additions to the first part of this hoard found in 2012 (NMS-A00F04). As with the first part of the hoard, dating is difficult and all that can be safely said is that this hoard was deposited at some point from the Roman invasion of Britain in AD43 and the Boudiccan revolt in 61. The lack of any coins of either Caligula or Claudius in this second batch perhaps suggests that the deposition or loss of this hoard l…

Iron Age coin hoard consisting of two gold staters. Both are Norfolk wolf staters, so-called JB types with a left facing wolf (Cottam et al 2010, Ancient British Coinage, p.78, no.1399). The two coins were found approximately 40 yards apart and they must represent part of a dispersed coin hoard. The larger, paler example weighs 5.14g, the smaller, darker coin 5.27g. The coins were made between about 50-20 BC. Date of loss of deposition will have been in the closing decades of the first century BC, c.30-10BC

A coin hoard comprising 44 Iron Age staters of the 'Norfolk Wolf' Uninscribed Icenian JB type. These were found scattered in what appear to have been two groups over a relatively small area, the first group in November 2012 and the second in ?March 2013. If two hoards were concealed, however, these must surely be two part of one main deposit; the two groups of coins share die-links as well as being of the same type. All of the South Norfolk coins are struck from the same rather pale debased gold, implying a date of production some years after the beginning of the Norfolk Wolf serie…

59 silver denarii ranging in date from issues of the Roman Republic to those of Tiberius. The coins were found scattered over a relatively small area and clearly represent part of a hoard scattered by agricultural activity. Wear patterns are consistent with this, the older coins generally being the most worn. Dating is difficult and one's initial reaction is to connect this hoard to the Roman invasion of AD43. However, the latest coins, those of Tiberius, still show some wear and had plainly circulated for a number of years. It seems more likely, on the balance of probabilities, that …

Two Iron Age East Anglian silver units of pattern-horse types, the reverse sides of which were found accreted together. These are traditionally attributed to the Iceni, who are known to have inhabited an area covering Norfolk and parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire in the Roman period (and perhaps before). The coins were brought to the British Museum in November 2012, where they were separated by the Department of Conservation and Scientific Research. They are now identified as follows: East Anglian pattern-horse silver unit. The reverse was too worn for the type to be fully ide…

Five of these are gold 'staters', one is a base-metal stater (struck on a flan of the same module as the gold staters), thirty-two are silver 'units', one is a smaller silver 'half-unit' and one is a silver 'minim' (or 'quarter-unit'). All of these coins belong to the local East Anglian coin series, traditionally attributed to the Iceni.
