B. Brockage: British (?) Imitative Constantinian AE Minimus (10mm, 0.43g)Roman Britain (Roman Imperial, “Barbarous” Contemporary Imitative). Constantinian (?) AE Minimus (10mm, 0.43g, 12h), obverse brockage, c. 330-340s (?).
Obv: Pearl-diademed, cuirassed bust right. Rev: Incuse image of obv.
Ref: Cf. Bishops Canning 392, Chapmanslade 699, Maidenhatch 69-71 for imitations of Trier & Lugdunum mint GLORIA EXERCITVS types.
Prov: Ex Martin Wettmark Collection (acq. eBay USA, April 2017; CNG EA 525 [19 Oct 2022], 1835).

Notes: Very small even for a British imitative, but not unheard of (judging from the 877 imitations in the Chapmanslade hoard, perhaps 1 or 2% this small). Roughly comparable in style & fabric to the Trier/Lugdunum imitations found in the 1993 Chapmanslade Hoard & 1989 Nether Compton (Dorset) Hoard (deposited 339 CE). Aside from some Byzantine era Trachy, this is by far the lightest brockage of bronze of a coin that I’ve found (certainly for the Roman Imperial period, including imitations).
