Description
When this hoard was recorded, by Megan Preece, PAS Volunteer, and Meghan King, Finds Liaison Officer for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (edited by Eleanor Ghey, Curator of Roman and Iron Age Hoards at the British Museum), each coin was allocated a ‘Small Find’ number, abbreviated here to SF.
British Iron Age, CORIELTAUVI, Uninscribed issues, gold Stater, British I [North East Coast Left type], devolved head of Apollo right, in the form of wreath, cloak and crescents, rev. disarticulated horse left, charioteer’s arms and pellets above, solar pellet below, coffee bean motif behind, two pellets before, zigzag and pellet pattern between two exergual lines below, 6.11g/5h (SF 3; ABC 1722; BMC 195-8; VA 804-3; S 29). Centrally struck on a slightly oval flan, well-centred, toned and good very fine £900-£1,200

Arsdell tells us that in “about the middle of the Gallic War, economic pressures caused a debasement in the value of the Celtic Stater throughout Britain”. He states that tribes either reduced the weight of the coins, debased the gold content, or produced a combination of the two. The Corieltauvi reduced the weight of their coins, to approximately 5.6-6.1 grams, as is fairly consistent with this hoard.
All of the coins in this hoard contain various trace elements, such as Iron and Bismuth, which is usual for ancient coins. As such, the XRF analyses results shall focus on Gold, Silver and Copper.
