The first group from this outstanding collection appeared in Triton XXVII. This is a subsequent offering of coins from this very impressive collection of British issues, which includes many incredible rarities of the Romano-British usurpers Carausius and Allectus. These coins are almost exclusively extremely rare or very rare. Furthermore, many unique coins are being offerered here as well. Classical Numismatic Group would once again like to thank Sam Moorhead for the updated forthcoming RIC V.5 reference numbers for these coins.
