A rare, copper-alloy dupondius of Severus Alexander (AD 222-235), minted in Rome, AD 229. RESTITVTOR MON reverse type depicting the emperor standing left with spear. Ref. RIC, Vol. IV, Part II, p.118, no. 601.
Severus Alexander apparently struck this coinage in connection with an 'enigmatic ... '"reform" in c. 229 celebrated with dupondii inscribed Restitvtor Mon (Alexander standing) and Mon Restitvta (Moneta standing). The nature of this event is a mystery, though it may be a celebration of the effectiveness of Alexander's decision in 222 to abandon the inflationary double-denariu…

A Medieval silver double patard of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy (1419-67) and Brabant (1466-67), minted for Flanders.
In 1469, following an agreement made between Edward IV and Charles the Bold, these coins were made legal tender in England and remained so for over 60 years afterwards; they crop up in hoards (in steadily declining numbers) until well into Henry VIII's reign. The Burgundian rulers were seen as friends of the English and this is the main reason that this type of foreign coin was allowed to circulate here. The metal is not quite sterling value, so although they w…

Late Medieval penny of an uncertain ruler dating to AD 1377 to 1485. Possibly a local die, mint of York. The coin has been clipped to the inner circle and is pierced at 12 o'clock on the obverse with a large hole made near the edge and not adjacent to a cross end on the reverse.
Due to the lack of other modifications, such as gilding, it is not clear that piercing alone has removed it circulating as coinage, which was often judged by weight due to heavy clipping in this period. Therefore it has been rcorded as a coin, not as an object, which might have been potential Treasure.

It is common to find Indian coins in Britain, probably because they were brought here by people serving in the colonial Empire in India.
