PAS SUR-E803BC - An Iron Age uninscribed silver unit of the Regni, dating to the period c.60-20 BC. Obverse: Devolved bust right with crescent-shaped hair curls. Reverse: Horse facing right, pellet in ring above, ring and pellets in front, possible devolved comb or lyre below. It measures 13.3mm in diameter and 0.89g in weight. This coin probably belongs in Bean's (2000: p. 70) type QsT1-6 group, likely related to silver units of the Regni with lyre motif beneath the horse (e.g. ABC, p. 53, no. 650) and with distribution focussed in southern Britain around West Sussex and Hampshire, with several known from Hayling Island.
