You'd be best consulting a specialist work - the nearest I can find in Spink is S37, Savernake Forest type (though yours is not exactly like their illustration - I don't know how relevant that is.)

Cheers.....I was thinking S39, not a million miles away :) Thanks for looking.

Hi Stuart, just looked in Chris Rudd’s ABC book ( Ancient British Coins) and I believe it’s a Selsey Uniface ( ABC 488) of the Regini and Attrebates. Spink 39.
