A worn copper-alloy as of Claudius, contemporary copy, c. 41-54 AD (Reece period 2). Reverse: Illegible, Minerva advancing right brandishing shield and spear. Uncertain mint. Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a native copy.
