#FindsFriday This week we have an exciting find – a silver minim of Caratacus, known as a Caratacus Car type, dating c. 40-43. Caratacus was one of the sons of Cunobelin and one of the rulers who fought against the incoming Romans.
Only one example of this coin was previously known, so this is only the second known example! The obverse has the letters CAR while the reverse depicts an eagle with three pellets. This remarkable find comes from an assemblage of Celtic coinage retrieved during recent excavations in Buckinghamshire.
