, temple façade. Coupland, Money Group E; Depeyrot 1179; M&G 472; MEC 1, –. Toned. VF.
From the Simon Coupland Collection.
Group E coins are recognisable by the form of the temple and the lettering. The temple has short columns, often with capitals, and a 90° roof which sometimes has a ball at the base of the cross. The lettering is sprawling, often with a large S, unbarred As, often at angles, and the second I of religio sometimes sits in the angle of the L. The group (Coupland Group E) was first published in 1990, and the finds since then have only confirmed the attribution. [S. Coupland]
