When you see one of those fabulous-but-familiar corn-ear gold staters of Cunobelinus, look again. You may already have a corn-ear stater in your cabinet, but it's well worth looking again, because you just might discover that you're looking at a great rarity. Even within this well recognised, well documented series it's still possible to spot an excessively rare variant that nobody else has spotted. This superb specimen proves our point. Look again, what's that big letter B doing in front of the galloping horse? Dr Philip de Jersey says: “One of the rarest varieties of the plastic stater, with just one other coin recorded from this die pair: found at Parson’s Heath in Essex, and now in the Colchester Museum (Allen, ‘Cunobelin’s gold’, Britannia (1975), dies Ec). Both sides occur in combination with other dies on a handful of coins, but this is without a doubt the only example with the whole of CVNOB so fully displayed.” Chris Rudd March list.                                   5.2.07
