Measurements: Unrecorded Discussion: From BERK-A92065"Known as the 'Gallic War uniface' stater these coins were struck by the Ambiani in northern France almost certainly during the Gallic War [period] (c. 60-50 BC ) and imported into Britain during the late first century BC. These gold coins are frequently found in southern Britain where they circulated in large numbers, and where some [varieties] may also have been produced."

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
A Post-Medieval gold finger-ring of likely 18th -19th century in date. Description: The ring is thin and has a band that is D-section. Inscribed in lower case on the inside: "In love abide till death divide", then more crudely incised with initials ES. Dimensions: 21mm in diameter,, 4mm thick and weight 5.8g Discussion: The use of lower case lettering and its thin band suggests a 18th century date. Thus the find cannot be safely dated before 1716 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
