Item Details
Description
35-45 AD. Obv: boar stepping right, two pellet-ended crescents flanking pellet-in-annulet above, AL FE between and in front of legs below. Rev: horse prancing right with four pellets around pellet-in-annulet above and SCAVO below with C set high. S. -; BMC -; ABC 1705. 0.81 grams. The Brodie Hall, Kent, UK collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket). Chris Rudd notes: 'The Alii Scavo type was unknown eleven years ago. The first specimen was found in 2002 and published in January 2003 (Chris Rudd List 67, p.3). I pointed out then that the boar's forelegs stand for II, which equates with the Celtic letter E, which gives us the name ALE, which was already known from the Ale Sca type (ABC 1708), first discovered in 1929 during the excavations at Venta Icenorum, near Norwich.......'
Condition
Good very fine; tiny edge chip. Extremely rare (only nine others recorded by CCI).
