    I like the 3 possible meanings for VIRI on the reverse

    1. His name
    2. Virile
    3. Wine King

    The guy definitely had his priorities straight :)

    Wine-swilling-sex-mad Celtic is redundant.

    Mr. Rudd has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to attention-grabbing coin descriptions. This type will no doubt be known hencefoth as the 'Edmondsham Wine-Swiller'.
