Copper alloy coin. Possibly a Decadrachm of Euainetos of Sicily [400-390 BC], reported as 'found wrapped in lead a number of years ago' at an unknown location in Barnetby le Wold parish. The definition of the coin is much less clear than illustrated examples (e.g. Auction Catalogue: Monnaies et Medailles S.A. Basel [Switzerland], for sale of 26-27 November 1974, no. 68), and this might suggest it to be a recent cast reproduction or tourist souvenir. Alternatively, it may be a wartime acquisition on the part of a serviceman. In either case, its deposition as reported could perhaps have…

Contemporary copper alloy copy of a silver Greek Owl Type A tetradrachm, with head of Athena on obverse and owl on reverse, minted in Athens c.454-431 BC.

These copies are usually described as 'money of necessity' and are associated with the fall of Athens to Sparta at the end of the Peloponnesian War, c.406 BC. There are references in Aristophanes to the use of bronze and scholars have speculated that these coins were produced officially with a bronze core a…
