Coin of the week

 

At first glance it may appear to be a standard Vep CorF gold stater. But it isn't. It has a ringed pellet beneath the horse's tail. Only ten others like this are recorded, including three in the British Museum. BMC 3298, struck from the same pair of dies, apparently came from the Lightcliffe hoard, circa 1829. Chris Rudd May List.                                                                                                       10.5.05
