Gold Coins of Cunobelin

These are coins struck by the King Cunobelin who reigned at Colchester about AD 10-40. Cunobelin was the most powerful of all the kings that ruled in Britain prior to the Roman invasion. The coins show on one face an ear of corn, and on the other a prancing horse. The abbreviated names of the king (CVNO) and the ancient name for Colchester, Camulodunum, (CAMV) are also shown on the coins.
