Object type: COIN
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy struck Roman coin of uncertain type and date. The coin is very heavily corroded and with little definition remaing. That which does is on the obverse where the barest outline of a portrait can be seen, however, identification of the ruler is unlikely. Based on size, the coin is probably a Sestertius from the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

A small cast lead alloy bi-conical spindle whorl of indeterminate date. The whorl is roughly cast with what might be the remnants of the casting sprue still in place. The surface appears to have been cast with a zigzag decorative feature and it is now encrusted by a pale cream lead oxide. The central hole has a diameter of 8.95mm. As the find area has only thrown up other coins/artefacts of a medieval to post medieval date, this whorl may be from that same period.
