founnd a quarter stater today i think it's dobunnic as it was found in herefordshire.i think it's an uninscribed one the back looks blank but i think there might have been a wreath or traces of.dont know whether they'll show on the photos.i found a couple of eddies & some more silver.a lucky day today.

On the new photo of the two coins together I think I can see a R at 9 'o clock its possible the coin was struck slightly off the die, nice to see them together.

It will be interesting to know the weight between the two if you get the chance, the gold quality looks good on both, is one thicker than the other?
