The other example was found in the Whitwell Hoard (Rutland) between 1991 and 1993 and is now in the British Museum (CHRB X, p. 472, no. 40; BM 1992, 9.4.2). RIC VIII (p. 196) suggested that such coins might exist, but recorded none. These two surviving specimens were struck from different dies. The Whitwell coin is heavier at 1.82 g. than the Eartham piece at 1.13 g.
