10-40 AD. Obv: COF in box with pellet at sides, pellet-in-annulet above and below. Rev: facing head of Medusa with VERI around. S. 141; BMC 1506; ABC 1271. Chris Rudd, List 117, number 26 (this coin"). 0.25 grams. . Property of a lady; acquired from her son; previously with TimeLine Auctions Sale 77, lot 2074; formerly Brodie Hall, Kent, UK, collection; acquired Chris Rudd (with envelope and ticket"). Chris Rudd notes: 'It's five years since we sold our one and only other specimen, which came to us from the Tony Abramson collection. Commenting on it Dr Philip de Jersey said: 'This is one of the rarest of Verica's silver minims, with only seven examples recorded in the CCI, of which four are in museum collections. The Medusa head links the type back to the quarter stater of Tincomarus bearing the same motif (VA 378) but is rather less well defined here; the limitations of the minim dies must have made this an extraordinarily difficult piece of die engraving.'
