Iron Age silver large flan deeply-dished unit, of John Talbot LFC groups (Groups 1/2?). Early face-horse type, uninscribed East Anglian. Worn. John Talbot comments: I have re-looked at this coin and have now worked out that the obverse die is C - therefore it is a well known die link C 2 within the LFC group. You need to revolve the obverse image by about 210 degrees clockwise to make sense of it.
