Some are good quality plated coins, others have a poorer quality silver wash and some are made from base silver. These coins are probably more common as site-finds (as opposed to hoard-finds) because they were more likely to be rejected in the market place and by savers. However, given the large quantity of such coins, it is probable that they played a role in the economy, possibly substituting for sestertii, dupondii and asses which were not imported in large numbers to Britain at this time.2.14DistrictCertain228726severus_alexanderSWYOR2105517.43235Burton Salmonx412182.1Selby10627Radiate (antoninianus)2012-09-04T14:42:36ZYorkshire and the HumberCircaA contemporary plated copy of a Roman silver denarius of Severus Alexander, 222-235, SALVS PVBLICA, Mint of Rome, RIC IV, pt 2, p. 84, no. 178.s (217 – 218), showing Salus seated on the reverse.
