[QUOTE="richtea, post: 2986184, member: 93013"]> ex H R MOSSOP Sale lot 342 6/11/91 Glendinning's London The description for lot 342 isn't very helpful, but here goes anyway: AR and plated (36 [I][=36 items in this one lot][/I]) various, chiefly Icenian, one repaired, two broken; with scraps lumps, one AV Sold for £300 I'd say your call of Corieltavi is good - the horse is right-facing for Icenian boar horse units, and this is left-facing. The other interesting bit is the ladder-like horses tail. In Ancient British Coins the closest matches are ABC 1782 and 1783. 1782 has the two dotted circles you can faintly see half of - above both the horse and the boar - but 1783 has the ladder tail. ABC calls it a large leaf tail. 1782 is common (100-200 known), but 1783 is very rare (estimate 16-30 known) Let's call it a 1783. Worth keeping :-)[/QUOTE]
