Copper alloy barbarous radiate, probably of Tetricus I (AD 271-274), Reece period 14, produced after his reign c.AD 275-285, which looks like an attempt on the SALVS AVG reverse type depicting Salus feeding a snake in her arms, with the drapery arching downwards and the snake upwards on the right beside the skirt, or possibly the PAX AVG reverse type holding a vertical sceptre in the left hand with arm arching upwards and drapery arching downwards, as Cunetio 2987.

A copper-alloy Roman barbarous radiate, probably imitating a coin of Claudius II (AD 268-270), posthumous 'Divus' Claudius issue of AD 270-271, dating from the period c.AD 275-285 (Reece period 14). CONSECRATIO reverse type depicting a crude version of an altar. According to Reece and James (2000, pp.42-43) this type was often copied. Similar irregular copies are illustrated in catalogues of the Cunetio hoard on p.160, pl.34, no.2875:2 and from the Normanby hoard on p.205, pl.32, no.1832/3, but the current example is very stylised.

""About a fortnight since, a man who was digging in a field in the parish of Sancreed, near the Land's-end, in clearing round a large stone, discovered about 200 ancient coins. They are Roman; on the one side is a head, with a small crown, on the other, a figure, probably of Mercury, holding a sword and a staff, with the words, Temporum Felicitas. The coins were not in an urn, nor were the remains of one found near them."
