This could well be the forerunner of the Commios Ladder Head types. The facial features are similar, the ‘ladder’ hairstyle is similar.

As Derek Allen (1965) says, this extraordinary type was ultimately derived from the Pallas Athene silver coins of the Aulerci Cenomani (cf. LT 5967, 5973, 5980, 5985) and heavily influenced the Hampshire Thin Silver series of the British Belgae (ABC 911) and the Chichester Chariot Wheel thin silver of the Regini (ABC 701). This lovely example of the Picardy Horse Face explicitly shows a horse’s head emerging from the forehead of the stylised head. The spear is also clearly displayed as part of the helmet. The spidery ‘star’ symbol in front of the horse can be seen again before the horse on the Yarmouth gold stater of the Regini (ABC 518).

CGF attribute this type to the Petrocorii ‘the four armies’ and they’re probably right to do so. Strabo - his name means ‘squint-eyed’ - indicates that the Petrocorii were very good metal-workers (Geog. IV, 2, 2).

Our coin is more reminiscent of western mints, but the identification of a specific mint is still impracticable. The most interesting feature, however, is the mysterious face depicted on the obverse, whose parallel example cannot be found in the references.

The closest example to our coin is this of SC 354 (=SNG Spaer 216). Although the obverse is described as Apollo, it is nevertheless very worn. Upon closer examination one could see that the two coins share the same type. According to SC 354 note ‘The Kritt specimen shows an apparent helmet crest behind Apollo’s head, perhaps evidence for overstriking on an earlier variety featuring Athena’. SC’s suggestion of Antioch as a possible mint is repeated from SNG

Found whilst searching with a metal detector near Nettlestead, Suffolk, UK. Recorded at British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) no.SF8DFBBE.
From PAS: Dr Lisa Brundle comments on LIN-2CB2A6: A weight marked XXX D would have been used to ensure that payment of thirty pence (or half-acrown) contained the correct amount of silver, rather than silver coins whose face value was thirty pence but which were seriously underweight. Other denominations in this series are VI D (sixpence), XII D (a shilling), and V S (a crown). Weights of both series have been recorded with initials stamped on them, and in several cases, these initials correspond to the initials of the founders who put their names on coin-weight. It is this series that links firmly with the monetary conditions of the 1690s, when the silver coin in circulation was very worn, a situation which eventually led to a major recoinage.

b. Each Buyer is required to carefully read the Terms and Conditions before offering a Bid. When a Buyer makes a Bidhe/she acknowledges that he/she has read, understood and accepted these Terms. c. TimeLine does not act for or give any advice to Bidders/Buyers.
4. Dimensions, weights and colour: All dimensions and weights (including ring sizes) are approximate and are for general guidance only; a single dimension given is normally the greatest dimension for the piece(s). Although TimeLine have made every effort to precisely display the colours and condition of a Lot, TimeLine does not guarantee or represent that a device displays them accurately. The Lot may vary slightly from those images.
5. Condition: A condition statement for Lots
is not given in the catalogue, printed or online. This does not infer that any Lot is free from faults and prospective Bidders must satisfy themselves entirely as to the fullcondition of each piece before placing Bids. Condition Reports may be requested for any lot but are given only for general guidance and are inevitably subjective in character. Requests for Condition Reports should be made as early as possible; requests received at a late time may not be available before the lot is offered. Bidders are encouraged to carefully examine in person any Lot(s) for which they intend or do Bid for. It is not possible to note all marks or defects and neither TimeLine or the Auctioneer make any guarantee as to the physical quality or condition of any Lot(s).

Attributed to – a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist named;
Circle of – a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence; Follower of – a contemporary or nearly so work executed in the style of the artist; Manner of – a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date; and After – a copy of any date of a work of the artist.
8. Other Descriptive Matters: Some other words or phrases are used descriptively, as examples below:
Style - an item made in the style of an earlier age but thought to be probably of later date.
Archaistic - an item made in the style of a much earlier age; Grand Tour - an item usually of some age but in the style of an earlier age; After the Antique - an item made as a reproduction, usually of quite modern date; and Faux - used descriptively when the material used is probably imitative in character.

If a Buyer requests for TimeLine to apply for an Export Licence where this is not legally required, an additional fee of £24 (VAT inclusive) will be invoiced to the Buyer. Buyers are advised to check concerning any Regulations applicable in their country of residence regarding importation and to enquire prior to bidding. The deferment of any Export Licence shall not be reason to cancel any bid nor to delay payment.
10. Compliance with Cultural Goods Regulation: Each Bidder/Buyer acknowledges that the importation of cultural goods into the EU is subject to EU Regulation 2019/880, effective from 28 June 2025.

a. Obtaining any required import licence (for Category B items: archaeological objects or items >250 years old).
b. Submitting a valid importer statement for
Category C items (objects >200 years old valued ≥ €18,000).
c. Providing proof of lawful export from the country of origin (including the UK) where applicable.
11. TimeLine’s limited obligation in relation to the Cultural Goods Regulation: TimeLine shall, to the extent it has received from the Seller and the Buyer has paid in full the due Purchase Price in accordance with clause 30, provide supporting documentation to each relevant Bidder/Buyer, relating to:
a. Provenance and ownership of the relevant Lot.
b. Customs export declaration from the UK.
c. Any UK cultural property export licences (if required under the UK’s own export control regime).

While materials (such as catalogues) are vetted by an external committee of experts, TimeLine do not make or give any guarantee, warranty or representation or undertake any duty of care in relation to the description, illustrations or photographs of any Lot, including condition, quality, provenance, authenticity, background, style, period, age, origin, value and estimated selling price. TimeLine undertakes no obligation to examine, investigate or carry out any tests either in sufficient depth or at all to establish the accuracy or otherwise of any description or opinions given by TimeLine whether in the catalogue or elsewhere. Lots comprising Groups are sold strictly subject to them not being returnable for any reason whatsoever; the provisions set out under clause 45 are specifically excluded in respect of such Lots. For coins that have been authenticated, graded and
