Many copies of Claudian period asses were struck in Britain in the decades following the invasion of AD 43. This was because there was a serious shortage of small change for the up to 50,000 or so Roman soldiers in the province to use. It is now reckoned that many of these coins were in fact semi-official, being struck at legionary bases such as Colchester. The 'Minerva' as was the most common type copied.

A Roman copper-alloy contemporary copy of an as of Claudius dating to the period c. AD 43-60 (Reece period 2). Minerva reverse type depicting Minerva going right, right arm raised, holding shield with left hand. Copying Rome mint. cf. RIC. I Claudius 100/116; Boon 27ff. Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a native copy.
This coin has lost some elements at the circumference though it is unclear whether the flan's irregular shape might be msitaken for losses.
