Iron Age coin hoard consisting of two gold staters. Both are Norfolk wolf staters, so-called JB types with a left facing wolf (Cottam et al 2010, Ancient British Coinage, p.78, no.1399). The two coins were found approximately 40 yards apart and they must represent part of a dispersed coin hoard. The larger, paler example weighs 5.14g, the smaller, darker coin 5.27g. The coins were made between about 50-20 BC. Date of loss of deposition will have been in the closing decades of the first century BC, c.30-10BC

Hoard of twenty-four Late Iron Age coins, twenty staters and four silver units. The coins were found scattered over a small area; they comprise a mixture of Gallo-Belgic staters, early Norfolk wolf staters of high-purity gold and Bury type silver units. These last two coin types are the earliest of Icenian coins, probably produced in the third quarter of the first century BC and a few years either side of it. We might postulate a date of deposition c.30-0BC 1) Gallo-Belgic uniface stater, weight 6.16g 2) Gallo-Belgic uniface stater, weight 6.21g 3) Gallo-Belgic uniface …

Two quarter nobles found very close together. One is of Edward III, the other of Henry V. They surely represent part of a hoard or purse loss. Some wear as well as scuffing is evident and we might suppose a date of loss or depostion at some point in the mid-15th century. Catalogue Edward III, quarter noble, Treaty Series, North 1243, weight 1.44g (clipped), 1363-9 Henry V, quarter noble, Class C, North 1382, weight 1.72g, 1413-22

The coins can be summarised as follows 9 Snettisham Quarters - all closely grouped from A:1 to D:6 - 8 of the Quarters are die linked from what appears to be the first sequence of the issue - none of the later Quarters with the common obverse die E have been found. 5 Irstead quarters which fall between dies F:6 and H:13 all but the one struck from F:6 being from the final die linked sequence of the issue. I Irstead BHB Quarter from dies A:1 - the "Dubno" obverse. If this group were all one hoard it would suggest that Snettisham Quarters followed or were concurrent …

A coin hoard comprising 44 Iron Age staters of the 'Norfolk Wolf' Uninscribed Icenian JB type. These were found scattered in what appear to have been two groups over a relatively small area, the first group in November 2012 and the second in ?March 2013. If two hoards were concealed, however, these must surely be two part of one main deposit; the two groups of coins share die-links as well as being of the same type. All of the South Norfolk coins are struck from the same rather pale debased gold, implying a date of production some years after the beginning of the Norfolk Wolf serie…

Description: Two aurei of Augustus found in the same area as six other coins recovered previously (2017T827, NMS-297275) and representing an addendum to that group. Each carries a peck mark on the obverse, similar to the peck marks noted on the other coins. The pecking would have been carried out to check that the coins were of gold and not plated forgeries. Date: The lack of any coins of Tiberius implies that this hoard was assembled in the early 1st century AD, probably in the first two decades of the century, in the late Iron Age, and well before the Roman Invasion of AD43. Late Ir…
