Workflow stage: Published
A broken lead disc with decoration on both sides. The disc measures 18mm in diameter and is as thin as a silver hammered coin; much thinner than the range of post-medieval tokens. One side appears to have a star or cross in the centre, with lines extending from the angles to form triple stranded terminals. Between each line is a worn crescent motif. The other side is worn but also contains decoration. Its size, thinness and decoration somewhat recall the portrait type coins of Offa. However, it may alternatively be an earlier 7th-century forgery based on either Merovingian or Angl…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Halton
Workflow stage: Published
Lead or gun-metal cast of a Sestertius of Orbiana, wife of Severus Alexander (222-35AD). Type as RIC IV, pt. 2, p. 122, no. 657. It is hard to say whether this is a contemporary or modern copy. Cast coins were produced in the 3rd century, often called "Limesfalsa", singular "Limesfalsum". However, this piece is apparently not made from copper alloy, but from a lead or zinc based alloy. To make a more considered judgement, the Finds Adviser would need to see this coin.
