Description
5-43 AD. Obv: boar right with long bristles with spear piercing ears, pellet rosette above and pellet below. Rev: horse right with four-spoked wheel and two pellets above, double pellet below tail and phallic motif below with trefoil of pellets each side. S. 431; BMC 3473-3511; ABC 1582. 0.77 grams. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket). Chris Rudd notes: 'This is one of the most beautiful Norfolk Boar Phallic silver units we've had for ages, boldly struck with both boar and horse standing out in high relief. The object before the boar's head is often called a spear; to us it looks more like a sun-sceptre...'.
Condition
Extremely fine; well centred, bold animals, excellent detail. Very rare thus.
