A post medieval Venetian coin; a soldino of Agostino Barbarigo (1486-1501) made of an unusual alloy of gold and silver which appears golden coloured instead of the usual silver. This design was used by Barbarigo before he changed over to the new (and much more common) soldino design. However, the style overall is bad, especially the lettering and the mint mark of N over M to the right of the doge is not listed in the detailed catalogue (Barrie Cook pers comm.)

Gold quarter stater, a good example of a Gallo-Belgic import (listed as 69-1 in Van Arsdell's Celtic Coinage of Britain). These date to c. 50 BC and were produced in fairly large quantities somewhere in Belgica - possibly in the territory of the Morini - from where they were imported, also in fairly large numbers, to Britain. There are about 80 of this type from the UK to date. Most of them tend to be in the south-east, and this seems to be only the third example recorded from Lincolnshire (the others are from Bourne and Sleaford). Interpretation of the design of these things is p…
