Roman silver contemporary cast copy of a denarius of Septimus Severus (193-211), reverse type unclear, AD193-201. Large numbers of coin moulds for producing cast copys of later 2nd and 3rd century denarii have been found in the saltern sites around Burtle and it is possible, although in no way certain, that this is a product of that local industry.
