What I'd love to know is how it got to Somerset.  The Romans didn't come over till 55 BC and didn't get that far west till after AD.

There was me saying coins couldn't tell a story.  That one could.

Val you've got to think of the coins back then being worth it's weight rather than it's denomination and so they stayed in circulation and peoples saving much longer but could also have come over with trade as the local  Durotriges tribe were trading with Gaul for a long time before the Romans overran it.
I'm sure like many you remember that it  wasn't unusual at all to have young head Vicky coppers in your change right up to the 1970's Wink

It is a lovely coin but Andy has been disqualified as a member of the Chester mob as he lives on the right side of the border ! The committee's decision is final on this, better luck next time. P. S. You can have him back for a fee or if he finds nothing next club dig. 😉😉😉

It's great hearing of all the possibilities, never thought that id find such a thing!

Hey Chris, Chester mob membership lasts for 10 years, after which it is reviewed, so unfortunately for you guys you have an 8 year wait to unseat me!

At last all of our mob training sessions seem to be paying off   Cheesy

Look forward to the next dig

Yes Geoff, I did think of trading but wasn't sure about the location. Still, as you said silver coins were considered in a different light back then.  Silver was just silver to many.  All interesting speculation. Will it have to be reported ??

No it was on its own so just a single coin but would be a valuable addition to the record so hope it is recorded Wink

Well done Andy , that was a belter of a find, thanks for letting me hold it even if you wouldn't GIVE it to me. As stated before the rally
all find were to be left with customs on the North / South border, I'm afraid rules are rules but as you've managed to smuggle it
across, I suppose you can keep it  Grin Grin Grin
