Medieval gold pendent cross with a ribbed suspension loop and with similar decoration on both faces. Each arm consists of four twisted rods and ends in a trefoil and at the crossing there is a pellet in each angle.

Uninscribed gold quarter stater of Gallo-Belgic Continental type. The obverse is interpreted as a crescent-shaped boat with two standing occupants. This obverse form is generally associated with Gallo-Belgic tribes; see Rudd; Ancient British Coins (2010); p29; ABC 40. Circa 80-60 BC. A common reverse for the boat type quarter staters is a tree, however the reverse of this example consists of converging chisel marks with a globular body above, and fine lines radiating to the edge of the coin (very difficult to interpret as a tree). No parallel can be found for this in the (ibid) ABC re…
