Neville, may assist in deciding the tribes by whom the ine])igra})hical coins of Britain wt-re fabricated. 1. Ancient British coin. Ob. plain, slightly indented in part. R. rude imitation of a chariot, with a driver ; under the chariot is a wounded man. Electrum. 91. 1. grs. Found at Hadstock, in Essex. Coins of this class, and in this metal, are not uncommon. Eight of the same character are in the national cabinet. Ruding, pi. 1. fig. 1 — 6, gives six of these coins, with a similar convex projection in front, but without any indication of the places where they were discovered. One of the specimt'iis in the British Museum was found at Heme in Surrey, another in Kent. 2. Ob. rude horse gradient to the right, above and below a O. R. horse gradient to the left, ar. 1. 7. 6. grs. found at Chester- ford. This coin, which is of a peculiar class, resembles some of the small un- certain coins reading eca, found in the island: they approach more nearly to the Gaulish than to the British type. 3. A small rude coin : on one side is a bear (?) gradient to the left. R. indistinct, M. 1. Found at Chesterlbrd. 4. [cYNOBELiN?] head of Jupiter Amnion, to the right. R. CAM. Pegasus gradient to the right, m. Found at Hadstock. This coin is much corroded, but Mr. Birch is of opinion that the object on the reverse is a Pegasus, A very similar example is engraA ed in Aker- man's " Ancient Coins," vol. ii. p. 192, PI. xxiv. 5. 1 1.
