A scarce Iron Age Southern Gaul (Massalia) cast copper-alloy/bronze unit, circa 3rd-2nd century BC, die-struck on a cast potin-like flan with remnants of casting sprue, obverse with laureate head of Apollo facing left (interestingly double struck) within a beaded line border, reverse with bull butting right, standing on exergual line, legend 'MA' above, diameter 17mm, thickness 4mm, weight 5.42g (good-extremely fine for type with good patina, some irregularity to flan and some cast bubbles as expected for type, but a rare offering, perhaps one of the best examples found, with approximately twenty recorded in the UK). Note: probably a Gaulish import, rather than a British cast derivative, such as the Thurrock or Kentish type castings. Found in West Sussex and recorded on the finds.org database: SUSS-E9C571, ABC 115.
