Roman silver and fibular broach

[cudamark]

A couple more England field finds for your amusement. The silver coin is a bit chewed, but, in 2000 years, I don't think I'll look that good! It always makes me wonder who back then had them and lost them....and why. I don't know what is stuck to the reverse of the coin. It's stuck on there pretty good and I didn't want to get carried away trying to remove it.

Agreed, a contemporary forgery, I think they sometimes call them Fouree.
