Summary
Iron Age, Fragmentary North Eastern debased gold/copper-allot stater, probably inscribed [IISVP]RA[SV]. If this identification is correct, the legend spacing is IISVP—RASV rather than the common IISVP-R-ASV. For examples of this type see Hallaton Hoard cat nos. 1279, 1434 and perhaps 555. Note also – it is possible that there was part of another debased stater originally adhered to this coin. [E3 Spit 1 SF23; context 01].
