Coin of the week

All 23 existing Late Clacton staters are struck from the same obverse die, suggesting that production of this coinage was brief. The reverse die used for this coin appears not to have previously been recorded, and brings to nine the total known. Of the 23 surviving coins 13 are in museum collections, and thus it remains an elusive early British type. Chris Rudd January Sale List.                     6.12.04
