    Bav Terry monster silver and gold pouch

    Another rediculous sized pouch of top keepers, another pouch of the year contender Terry even found the greenie hoard

    1150 Stephen hammered silver penny - this appears to be a mule from North 879 and 878
    Obv + STIEFNE
    Rev Cross fleurty with a pile surrounded by a trefoil of annulets in each angle
    Possible Bury St Edmunds mint - GILBERT
    Ref North 879
    18.58mm, 1.38g Sent for recording and confirmed ID
    I have recorded this as EMC 2013.0162. It is a normal coin of Stephen type 6 but the reverse reading is a problem. What letters can you actually read? There is no moneyer named Gilbert in type 6 at present, unless this coin has provided one.
    The bending of the coin may be deliberate, possibly with a votive purpose at this period.
    Best wishes,
    Martin

    10-40 AD Cunobelius bronze coin - sent to CCI for recording
    Jupiter Lion type VA 2107
    1.07g, 12.56mm
    ABC 2984 as CCI 13.0096
    John Stills has recorded our last two Celtic bronze coin finds and confirmed my ID's.
    Thanks for the two bronzes, I've recorded the ABC 2921 type as 13.0095 and the Jupiter Lion, ABC 2984 (1.07g) as 13.0096.
    All the best

    This is a follis of someone from the 2nd tetrarchy - the reverse type is GENIO ... (could be EXERCITVS, IMPERITORI, CAESARIS, AVGVSTI, POPVLI ROMANI or POP ROM )
    Working from the letters in the field: "T - F", under GENIO POPVLI ROMANI there is a single type of Constantine I as Caesar from Lyons. Under GENIO POP ROM there is a large selection of 2nd Tetrarchy folks from Western European mints. I can't be certain the exergual mint mark looks like it could be PLN - in that case, it would be from the mint of London, and selecting for only mint of London GENIO POP ROM's, I find it could be only Maximinus II as Augustus, Constantine I as Augustus or Licinius I. The fragment of legend on the obverse from 11:00 to 1:00 looks like it could be [...LIC] INIVS [PF AVG]
    The other possible mintmarks for T - F fieldmarks in this type would be, basically, PTR or PLG for Trier or Lyon respectively - the same 3 Augusti are the possible issuers for these folles from those mints as well.
    This is a Licinius I from Trier, but with those same field letters, from my collection - I think it's a pretty good match
    This issue dates to 310-313 - I think we can say it's Licinius without too much uncertainty, and the only thing which remains uncertain is the exact mint from which it was issued - could be London, Trier or Lyon (but I lean towards London, although the center letter could be a T, in which case it's Trier)

    This is pretty unusual given the sort of material you generally seem to find since it's a good bit later - it appears from the legend to be Gratian - 367-383 and the reverse type is definitely REPARATIO REIPVB with Gratian standing left raising a kneeling female figure - an allegorical representation of "The Republic" - pure propaganda, the Empire was in pretty dire straits at that time and having its lunch-money stolen in the schoolyard daily by every bully on the borders.
    I can't quite make out the mint mark, but the type dates to 378-383.

    2ndC Roman silver sent for ID
    the broken silver piece will need more study - Sorry to say, this does not "jump off the page" for me. I don't recognize the portrait or even the fragment of legend at first glance. It does seem to be either Roman or Roman-inspired at very least, however - which makes it all the more puzzling for me since I am pretty familiar with the entire field.
    We at least have the benefit of on obviously clean-shaven portrait which significantly narrows-down the field of potential identities.

    1526 -1544 Henry VIII hammered silver half groat - 2nd coinage
    TC by shield Archbishop Thomas Cranmer
    Rev CIVI/TAS/CAN/TOR - Canterbury mint


    'A badge for a Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in bronze and dating somewhere around C13/14th possibly very slightly later . This is a very scarce item and it relates to The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem being a Catholic chivalric order of Knighthood that traces its roots to Godfrey of Bouillon, principal leader of the First Crusade. According to reliable sources in the Vatican and Jerusalem, it began in historical reality as a mixed clerical and lay confraternity (association) of pilgrims which gradually grew around the most central of the Christian holy places in the Middle East, the Holy Sepulchre or the tomb of Jesus Christ.This would have been a pin for a member of the order , there is a mark on the reverse where the original pin would have been fixed '
    1stC Roman fibular brooch
    'The Langton Down style was developed in Gaul in the late 1st C BC but saw use in Britain from the time of the Claudian invasion until about 75 AD. The spring on these brooches is enclosed within a distinctive tubing of fairly thin construction.The bow is flat and very thin decorated with grooves and ribs (reeding)'
