One is much smaller than the remainder, and one has more elaborate moulded decoration extending from the mouth. At least two examples appear to have the remains of casting sprues attached to their mouths and others may have been deliberately broken. In addition there is a fragment from a winged palstave or axe, as well as 4 smaller fragments from the mouths of socketed axes. The axes were …

All of the present coins are Roman silver coins of a denomination known as the denarius (plural denarii). The earliest was a coin of Vespasian. The latest closely dated issue is of Marcus Aurelius with a combination of the emperor's titles for the year 172; although also present was a coin of his empress Faustina II which could have been struck anytime up until her death in 176. In terms of composition this group of coins is consistent with other hoards of this period. The coins can be summarised as follows: Summary: Emperor Quantity Vespasian, 69-79AD 1 Domitian, 81-96AD 1 T…

Felixstowe (nr), Suffolk (2009 T663) I have examined seven coins reported found near Felixstowe in Suffolk. All are official silver coins of the English kings from Edward I to Edward III, and will have a fineness of the traditional sterling standard, 92.5% fine metal. A detailed list accompanies this report. There are six pennies and one halfpenny in the group. The latest dates to the 1360s and the older coins are generally reduced to the lower weight standard introduced in 1351, so it is very likely that this is a group deposited togetheron a single occasion. Since there are no…

A group of 10 coins from Coney Weston in Suffolk. All are silver, 9 are English, 8 of King Henry VI and one older piece too worn and clipped to date precisely. There are 5 groats (the four-penny coin) and 4 pennies. The remaining coin is a groat of James I, King of Scots. By his reign Scottish coins were produced to a much lighter weight standard than English ones and were not legally tolerated in England; nevertheless, they did circulate to some extent, as hoards and single finds demonstrate, although their value may have been discounted and this coin, for example, utilised as a half…

Description: Two fragments of a single copper alloy palstave and two fragments of a single copper alloy dagger, both of middle Bronze Age date. The palstave survives in two pieces, which fit together perfectly confirming that they are from the same object. The butt end was found several months after the discovery of the blade end and the dagger, but in close proximity to the latter. The break lies across the stop ridge and reveals irregular depressions caused by air bubbles forming honeycomb effect on both sides. This suggests that the original casting was flawed and that the objec…

A hoard of eight silver pennies of Aethelred II minted between 997 and 1009AD. The hoard comprises six 'long cross' issues minted between 997-1003AD and two 'helmet type' issues minted between 1003-1009AD. This suggests a date of deposition around or shortly after 1009AD. No vessel was recovered and it is suggested that the hoard represents an accidental loss rather than the deliberate deposition with the intention of recovery. The coins are in poor condition; three are incomplete. The hoard is catalogued below. Number (No.) refers to coin photograph numbers, the coins were assigned R…
