North Thames (Catuvellauni/Trinovantes). Bronze unit, probably of Cunobelin. Corroded and struck off-centre. Although probably as VA 2095-1 / BM 1944-1951, there does seem to be an MA above as on Thurrock potin (which also have a butting bull of this style), suggesting that this may have formed the prototype for Cunobelin's coinage. This suggestion has traditionally been rejected due to the early and late production dates of these types.
