Still amazes me how many hammered coins this particular field has thrown up, and with other bits and bobs it nods to a long gone market site within or bordering a deer park , was obviously a medieval market for quite a while as the coins range from Henry II to Charles I, i think this is Edward I. ?? Durham mint which is my first Durham coin from this field, and its a big old flan on it, please excuse the awful pictures, any id is welcome, thanks for looking,

Thanks stu, I will put it as spink 1595 for now.

The motive with the stag also appears on a rare coin of Cnut almost as a 200 anniversary of the original design. It is not the exact same design as the face/stag coin but taken from another contemporary coin – the ship/stag type which as it is smaller and lighter could perhaps be a half penny.

I'm late to this thread - yes, it's Julia Domna; you can make out the MNA AUG to the right of her bust, and just discern the DO to the left. It's her portrait too. I found my first denarius on the spoil tip of an archaeological dig in 1974 - a Julia Domna in VF. Sadly I was a penurious student when I got back to Brum and sold it to a dealer for around £7, a small fortune back then.
